Hi guys,
I'm cycled (fishless) and am adding my lights. I have a 36" (L) x 12" (W) x 18" (H) tank (35 gallons). I just bought a coraline aqualight Dlx - 30" fixture ( Coralife Aqualight Dlx- 30" - 2 x 65 Watt Power Compact )
My question is: I'm buying new light bulbs for it tonight. What ones should I buy? I want a reef tank within the next 6 months, so something that is strong enough for that.
Also, once adding the lights and leaving them on 6-8 hours per day, how many days/weeks will it take for algae to build up? I do have some on the live rock that was purchased from the LFS.
