We're just getting our tank going. We began the process using turbo-start and a few damsels (although one was a bit agressive and returned to the LFS). I know this isn't a favorite method, but I will say it has worked pretty well. Readings have been acceptable for the last week and a half, so we added the three clowns today.
I started out with live sand and regular rock. After some research I added some live rock. Now I want to add some of the colorful keys rock from lr.com, but I'm concerned what is going to happen as I just have basic flourescent lights. I'm planning on fish only for now, but I'm concerned everything in the live rock will die without the needed additional light.
What lights do I need for corals if I would decide to add corals, etc? I have asked several LFS and been quoted anywhere from $150 to $350 for lights for my 55 gallon.
Thanks!!!
