| how tall is the tank? if you don't plan to do any hard corals or clams you might get away with a t5 or VHO. that is of course if the tank is less than 18in height. IF not you would need like a 70 MH but then you have heat problems and exaporation like crazy it that size tank! |

| Go to marineandreef.com they have good lighting section. And you might want to get a new filter. I have heard that those can cause problems after a while. Last edited by mocker; 01-24-2008 at 09:17 PM. |

| i am the guy that sold you the tank....lol heres the lowdown on what you can do. Basically you have 2 options either: 1. stick with just fish and live rock and keep the system the way it is or 2. get a new light and filter because you cant replace just the light with that hood if you chose option 2 i can help you find a good price on a good light for corals in that tank and also recommend a filter |
