lighting question

[cocoa_pleco]

on my 10g with the condylactis and live rock, and soon to be clownfish, hermit crabs, and cleaner shrimp, i have a fluorescent fixture and blue actinic fixture. During the day, both are on. At night, do i shut them both off, or just have the blue actinic on? thanks in advance

How many watts?

[cocoa_pleco]

i cant remember, but its the correct watts for a salt tank.

Im just wondering since my lfs has their 10g nanotank display with 15 corals and 2 clown's lights off at night, and theres no light to the tank

[Drumachine09]

look on the bulbs.

Only 30 watts?!?!?!?!?!?! well. im going to have 35 here in about 5 days, so i can get some lightweight coral action going on.

Son of a cracker, i also have another 15w on the tank thats placed behind. 45W total then


Im curbed for anenomes. My condy will kill anyother ones, so at least i wont go crazy buying anenomes. Tomorrow, im getting another bucket of sea salt, and 3 hermit crabs for the tank, and on the weekend the clownfish and shrimp hopefully

They should all go off at night. They sell moon lights, little 3/4-1 watt blue LED lights. Those would be what you want if you want a night light, which is a good idea.

What is the scientific name of the condylactus?

[cocoa_pleco]

for a condy, i think condylactis sp. is the scientific name
