Re: New to the Hobby

Just put the new rock in your tank and allow it to finish curing. There will always be a slight cure even with precured rock.

No you wont be able to simply put a T5 into a standard fixture. Two different animals.

Like Carl has suggested... just take your time and save up for a SWEET fixture. Don't do like I did and buy THREE different ones before I was satisfied. I started with standard "Petco" fixture. Then let the LFS sell me a single bulb PC unit (when I knew I wanted more). I was happy maybe a month. Then I decided I wanted more so I went back and bought a Dual bulb fixture (again one he suggested since he had it IN stock). Maybe another month until I decided I wanted MORE so I bought a whopping 130w fixture and really got serious about my reef tank.

Go big bro!!

Welcome and HAPPY REEFING!!

with a SW set up there is one basic fundamental rule that we ALL should follow
When in doubt... wait it out. This means take it slow and let the tank "develop" and don't rush it. Time is your friend
