Fish > Homework
Hi everyone,
A few months back I bought a used 40 gallon tank (not assembled), and set it up with a few fish, some basic inverts, and plans to add some soft coral. It came from a hobbyist who is much more advanced than I am, and so I also got his MH light (10 watts/gal) as part of the deal.
I'm realizing now though that I can't keep paying an extra $70/mo to run it, so I'm looking to replace the light with something more economical. I have to admit that though I've asked questions and tried to read about lighting, there are so many models and different kinds of light that I'm kind of at a loss as to what would be best.
Could anyone make some suggestions? The tank measures 36x18x16.
Thanks
