    you'll need a timer for your light to turn it on and off by itself so once you get corals you won't have to worry about doing it yourself. I don't have my timmer set up right so i'm doing it manually but i'll adjust it when i have time. How i want to set my timer up is for the blue bulbs to come on at 3pm, then at 4pm have the white bulbs come on, then at 9pm have the whites go off, then at 10 the blues. I just haven't figured out how to work my timer properly. This is just how i like to run my light schedule because i get off at the 3pm and prefer to see the tank when i'm home

    I would 100% recommend RC you can fill out a custom clean up crew from and he will suggest what you should get. LA is a very good place to buy from if no good LFS around you. Their a little pricey but have a 2 week guarantee and have a great reputation as well, they also always have a list of fish on sale

    Liveaquaria might be your best bet then. Most of their fish come from here in California but they have a Divers Den that's based out in Wisconsin.
