    8k vs 10k vs 15k

    Can anyone explain the difference between the three light ratings? Basically, I understand the blue spectrum becomes a little more prevalent as the rating gets higher. But in regards to coral growth vs show lighting, any preferences/proven knowledge that you guys would be able to pass on? I'd...

    Lighting Issue! Need advice!!

    Hey guys. I have a question for all you lighting experts out there. I recently aquired a 120 gallon tall tank (48L x 18D x 32T). I want to turn this into a reef, but with that kind of depth, keeping coral (softies, and lps and sps) is probably going to be an issue. Any suggestions?

    Odd Question

    Ok, so this may sound dumb, but does anyone know where I can get my hands on any speghetti worms, or bristle worms? Can you buy eggs or anything like that? I need detritivores that will work between LR rubble and sand sifting is just a bonus. Any suggestions?

    Shed some light...

    Alright guys. I have a 40 gallon tank that is 30" long. So that pretty much limits what I can do when it comes to lighting. I want to get some advice from you guys on which path to take. I want to set up a reef tank with multiple corals and possibly anenome (far down the road) so I need to know...
