Awesome!!! Thank you so much, you have been so much help!! I could keep you here forever with different questions, but I will let you rest for a while! Right now I am going to find your tank build thread!!! :dance:

you are wonderful for not screaming and running the other way!!! I think the more I research the more I confuse myself. So Lets talk LED for a min. If you don't mind. they are apparently the way many are going. so obviously they are measured differently then metal halide and fluorescent. I see...

There is a fan on the end that turns on with the lights. Thank you for the link, they are expensive for sure, but I want nicer coral and inverts so I know I am going to have to take the plunge. I have another question or two or hundred. I have a fluorescent ballast in my shed not being used...

Thank you very much, I will look for them! In your opinion with the new bulbs how close could I move it to the tank. It looks terrible where the guy I got it from has it it is so high, I can't even build a canopy to hide it. But I am also concerned about the heat?

def. not a clam. the pic is a clam shell with 2 pieces glued standing up (why? I don't know) but I have a piece that came unglued on my rock, it is completely brown and when you blow on them they react so he's alive. I just don't know what he is or what to do for him. lol :ermm:

Found them. They are 175 Watt each (have 3) is that good? I copied from the web site .... 175 watt metal halide lamp with a BT28 shaped glass, clear finish, 4000K, and a E39 mogul base. So i should be running the actinic with the metal halide, correct? Thank you again for all your help:angel:

The 3 round bulbs themselves don't say much that makes sense to me. Where it screws in days 4kv and the two others are the 2 long bulbs are super actinic fr40t12/vho. I haven't been running them together until after reading up in lighting last night about actinic and all, when I run them at...

Yes, pretty new. Damsel fish and 4 power heads. All I have was previously set up. So when I set it up it went through what the reef guy explained to me as a mini cycle. Put the damsel in there and then just the two coral. I def will wait until I get better lighting before getting more coral. The...

Thank you very much, That makes sense. I was just googling yellow looking tank. That would be the reason because out of the tank my water is crystal. I will start researching new lighting.

I only picked him up yesterday from the store. They had him in no overhead lighting. I am Still new to the lighting, I bought the whole set up used. My lighting is Metal Halide (I believe) it has 3 of the bulbs in the picture and 2 moon lights for night time. Brings me to another question the...

nope, lights are on. It may be because it was taken with my phone. IDK. You think it is Dying? or is that name a type of coral? It actually looks better now than when I got it.

Try again....

I thought I attached it, I am still trying to figure it out

I got this from my lfs. It looks like there are a couple pieces glued(?) to a clam shell. The girl couldn't remember what is was called. They look somewhat hairy and when I blow shrimp on them the appear to "grab". I found think lettuce coral online but wasn't sure that was correct because...

Daily tests are good! I added 2 damsel fish, 2 hermits, a turbo snail and a small trumpet coral drag. All are happy and doing good. I am now officially addicted and can't wait to get more coral
