Question 1:
I have a crushed coral substrate in my 20 gallon.
Can I add livesand to it?
Does livesand need special lighting?
Question 2:
Ive seen florescent lighting at places like petsmart that seem to be marketed towards saltwater, saying things like "atinic" and stuff, and are usually like $22.00 compared to the $10.00 standard bulbs.
What benefits will those give me compared to standard aquarium lighting?
Will purchasing one of those bulbs enable me to get a larger variety of fish/critters?
In addition, if I put a standard light and one of those fancy lights next to each other, will that open up more possibilities?
Im new at all of this, so when I say possibilities I just mean different types of things like sea anenomes, liverock, star fish, crabs, shrimp.
Thanks again!
Eric
