New to lighting, 30 gal

cpandrewschmidt · 11-13-2004, 10:26 AM

Hi, I am pretty new to the hobby, finally got my tank running. Currently there are 2 clownfish and 1 damsel. I want to eventually add an annenome soon and maybe some other type of soft coral. Right now I just have one of those dim lights that can't grow that kind of stuff. What would be the best for me? I don't really know all the technical stuff like MH lighting, etc. I don't want to have to hang my light. What would be the best option? I am not with my tank right now but believe it is 30'' across by 12'' deep and 19'' high. Thanks

Andrew

Hello Andrew,
Soft Corals do not require the intense lighting that sps or hard corals require. A set of Compact flourescents would do nicely. Try this link or look in the 3reef sponsor area. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4&tc=photo I have purchased from this person before and didn't have any problems. Don't forget to add a set of legs if you get the light.
