The only "stupid" question is the one you don't ask. :) FTR, I have a 29H with "none of the extras", and it's been doing fine for nearly two years,...
Totally agree. Very beautiful, Cheryl. :)
+2 FWIW, some of your higher end T5 models use 24" bulbs in a 30" fixture, such as my Current USA Nova Extreme. :)
If you haven't been using GFO, you want to start with only a fraction of the recommended amount, then slowly add more over the next few weeks. Adding...
No, it will not cause any harm. IMOPE, most all crustaceans eat their exoskeleton within a couple of days after molting.

I'm 25 (for the 30th time). 8):P;D
+1 to ^^^ Adding dry rock should cause no issues.
