    I am doing hyposalinity on my main tank..

    So I removed all of the corals and inverts to a small 5 gallon tank.

    Its a small all in one set up with filter and light from walmart.

    What do I need to do to keep everything happy until they can go back into the big tank? they are mainly sofites, zoa, musrooms xenia, gsp

    there is a little 15 watt flourcent bulb on the tank, I am sure I need to get something else right? they were under 6 54watts 3actinic and 3 10k

    what kind of light do you suggest?

    Should I be feeding them?

    I moved my crabs, snails and clown fish along with some of my coral from my 12 gal with (2) 32 watt PCs to my 6 gal with only (1) 18 watt. PC. Not sure how different florecents are from PC, but all my critters did good.

    They have been in there since December. Not sure if that helps any, wish I knew more.

    Good luck

    Thanks, they should only be in here for 6 weeks but I'm not sure what kind of lights I should be looming to get
