As tigermike said, it's not the bulbs but the ballast you need to worry about. Unless you want to upgrade that, you will need to stick with the 65w....
You could try live shrimp or live copepods. Many fish will go crazy for live foods.
Looks good so! Can't wait to see what it looks like with fish and corals.
actually a lot of invert shippers will ship them dry because they tend to stay alive better, plus the weight is a lot less.
oops, you guys are right, sorry about that.
I was going off of ROYGBIV, with violet being at the end through to blue, green etc.
Does anyone use oyster eggs, or used oyster eggs to feed their inverts and corals? I heard good things about them before and just wanted to know if...

What type of snails are they? Most will eat detritus, but some may not.
The better water quality the better they will grow. If you do frequent water changes you could probably not skim. If there's no fish, there won't be...

Well, to get them to grow fast, you can up the nutrients, ie. increase feedings and filter feeder food. That will make them grow faster. I believe...
As for cycling, I cycled with a yellow tailed damsel with no problems. However, in a tank that size I wouldn't do that because other fish you add in...
really cool pictures and awesome tanks!
If you want to grow montipora and acropora I would got with the 8 bulb fixture. Acropora in particular require a lot of light and so do clams. You...
Welcome! what exactly are you asking is good or bad? I didn't see anything obvious in the picture.
The good news is that you can still see the mouth and flesh, it's just withdrawn. It's not bothering it anymore most likely because it's withdrawn....
