what kind of light?

So I got a small live rock today and I have started the seeding process. I am currently using a standard clamp on lamp as lighting. What type of light would be the best to use in said lamp?

You dont NEED the light to see the rock.

But if you did, a compact fluorescent bulb will do the trick (one of the squiggly ones). Get a low K rating -- I use 6500 over my fuge.

+1 yote and biff

is this a rock that your putting in a fuge or are you using a seeded rock to cure other rock??

I got a live rock and putting it in with my rocks that I made to get them into a live state so that when I get my tank it will be on track

I think it would be best to have something stronger on it. Why aren't you seeding it in your main tank?

I have nothing for the main tank...plus there is work to be done on it. I plan on replacing the top frame...drilling and plumbing it...and trying to get some of the scratches out while I wait for tax time and/or the wifes large bonus to get everything going. That may take a while so in the mean time I am getting what i can going to expedite the process when i am able to put water in the main display!

You want to do the same thing as if you are recuring your rock.put all your rock, including your new peice in a big container, 80deg, no light, lots of flow, let run for a few days, check ammonia level, they will be high, do a water change, and repeat the process till there are NO ammonia levels. it is going to take a little bit of time to do it right, Dont rush this.
this is how i did it when i made rock and it worked out great..

did I miss anything? anyone?

Nope, you're right.
