Hi Friends,
I've been reading here for a while, but have some questions!
First off I bought a 36 gallon Bowfront off of craigslist and immediately upgraded the filter to a filter rated for 50 gallons...
I have about 40 pounds of Lofu (spelling?) rock that I am stacking, and have had this up and running for only about 5 days! I have been doing about 50-75% water changes every other day because I was told just add my sand substrate and fish and chemicals and I would be good to go! Little did I know! 1 of my angels has already died, so I'm wondering what I can do to keep every one else from dying during this cycle...?
My main question is for people who are familiar with the 36 gallon bowfront hoods/covers...
I would love to upgrade the lighting because once I feel I have a mastery of the freshwater tank, I will be upgrading to a Reef soft coral saltwater tank with clowns etc.
I'm wondering what is a good quality light system that I could buy to replace the factory lighting system...?
I want one that will fit the hood that is on and have no open water, and would be good now for live plants as well as future coral anemone growth?
Links would be super helpful! Of course I'm on a TIGHT budget, so the cheaper the better...
Thanks For all your help friends!
I LOVE this community so far!
