Looks like a 14000 HQI MH bulb from what I can see. Usually I hear people recommend changing them every 8 months or so.

You could keep some monti caps and some other SPS if you keep them close to the light. You could basically do anything else you wanted...

Good Luck

def, monties

frogspawn and hammer braine,

wanna stay away from the faster growing stuff..

shrooms zoo's lots a zoo's

shes wants a clam it seems so ill be reserching that........ anything input?

 

[lcstorc]

If you want a clam first wait for the system to be well established and place towards the top of the tank so it is close to the light. Clams can be really picky and the small ones in particular are hard to keep and need to be target fed.
