Guys I'm in the need of some help and advice. I've spent an inordinate amount of time reading, which I've found to be an absolute must for this hobby (which suits anyway), however it does all sometimes get a little confusing as the information can be conflicting. I assume a lot of what I'm going to learn is going to be based on trial and error, and that is ok, I can live with that, however, I'm a bit of sponge, when it comes to having an interest in something. Furthermore I would like to limit the casualties along the way. My tank is still cycling and I'm in no hurry to stock, but at some point I'm going to want to get some corals and anemones in there. Question is this really, I've seen it written that if I have T8's I need at least 9w/g to enable anemones to benefit completely, which means for my tank I need at least 495W!!! T5's are considerably less at 4-5w/g. I know at some stage I'm going to have to look at changing my lighting setup, but any advice as to what I really need and how I get it would be great :D
