Agreed. Beautiful mandarin. Mine likes pellets as well.
It doesn't matter really, but I would do it with everything off.
The quick answer is: you can't with CF's. The best you could do is get actinic bulbs, but they don't have the pop that T5s or LEDs do.
Between the 2, I'd go with the AquaticLife 72". It comes with a replacement set of bulbs and you can upgrade to a 6' tank down the road and keep...
Agreed. Junk comment withdrawn. They can serve a purpose. ;) However, I stand by my point that, someone who wants to grow anything, would be...
I missed that part. My apologies to the OP. Get whatever you can afford, and worry about the nice stuff when you're a little older. :)

This is not a hobby where you can always cut corners and buy the cheap item. I would never own an Odyssea product in my life. Go to RC WTB forums....
Honestly, you've got a lot of height there. How much distance from the top of those sps frags to the surface of the water? I am going to guess 14"?...
