i bought a small toad stool today and im wondering if its a filter feeder or should i place shrimnp, and otehr meats on it and if its a filter feeder should i feed zooplankton and what else
That's going to be a problem. The toadstool leather is a zooxanthellae coral and requires much more intensity than NO lights will be able to provide. I would speed up the PC purchase as well as moving the leather as close to the lights as possible. I would not suggest purchasing any more corals until the lights have been taken care of. It is quite possible the leather will not fair well for long...e-cat said:i only have 3 40watt florecents 1, marine glo, 1 power glow and 1 aqua glow.

IMO, the biggest danger will be when you add the PC's. I would start them up slowly (just a few hours a day at first) and acclimate the corals to the increased light levels so you can avoid light shock. JMHO.
12 hrs is fine but as pointed out, once you get the new lights you need to acclimate the tank to them. Start with about 3 hrs/day and then increase by ½ an hour every other day until you are back to the full 12 hours. Just watch for algae blooms.e-cat said:how long should i leave the light on any ways? mine are on for 12hours right now.
