Hello all, just picked up a small frag of green maze brain coral, wondering where in the tank would be the best place for it? I have 36W 50/50 PC coralife lights, right now I have it at the very top but I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions of a better place to put it. My tank is a nano...

Ok, so after so many hours of researching I am more frustrated than EVER!!! All I need is the best light possible for my 12G eclipse for hopefully less than 250$. I currently have a coralife 50/50 that puts out a total of 36W, but the more reading I do it sounds like that is not nearly enough...

Ok, so I got some frags mostly zoa and two star polyp colonies already pretty established on rocks. I acclimated them slowly to the water and temp and all that good stuff, all were open the first few days and now none of them are open, and they look like they are getting smaller. I have tested...

Hello all! I found this for my 12G nano, I was wondering if this is a decent upgrade from the PC 5500K 50/50 lighting that I have now. I dont have a very large budget at all, so this would work for me price wise. Is this any good? I am looking to keep some corals such as zoas, leathers...

Hello, I picked this up at m LFS after asking many many q's about my lighting and they told me this would do well with my nano reef setup as it is a hardy coral. Problem is, I don't know what it is called and with all of the questions I forgot to ask and they are now closed until Wednesday. I...

Hello all, I have some questions about the lighting that came with my Marineland 12G tank. It says it is a 13W 5500K Daylight lamp. Is this enough for some corals? I have researched and read a ton of info about lighting but I can't find anything about this specific light. I don't want to put...
