bneyman Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 I currently have an eclipse 12 with stock lighting, biowheel removed, ~15 lbs. LR and CC substrate, which I plan to change to LS when time and money allows it. Livestock includes 5-6 hermits, lettuce nudi, spotted hawk, tomato clown, and cleaner shrimp. It's been running almost 3 months now, and I've been told not to start w/corals until at least 6 mths. LS and ~3 lbs more LR will be added before I start adding corals. Whew! after all that my question is I will definately need different lighting than what comes w/ the hood. What would be the best solution? What options do I have? I've been reading up, and If I'm not mistaken there is a 32W supernova retrofit as well as a 2x32W retrofit. I've also seen the 96W that would require me to remove the hood, which I don't mind, (hate it anyways). The latter is not much more expensive than the 2x32, but would that be too much heat? I'm a newbie also, so I want to try beginner corals in this tank, and eventually get a larger one after gaining the experience. Any suggestions? Link to comment
bamann345 Posted September 10, 2003 Share Posted September 10, 2003 Well, what types of corals are you looking to keep. If you want SPSs and clams I would most deff. get the 96 watt quad. If you are just looking to keep zoos and other softies, save some money and get the 2x32 combination. Just my 2 cents! Link to comment
