    Does anyone have any good ideas for a center piece coral? I have a frogspawn and a torch in a 25g now. Something that can be put on the sand will be good. Also something that gets pretty big also. I'm currently running 2 1/2 watts per gallon. Any ideas??? Pics will help!!! ;D

    Watts per gallon is an old, outdated, and useless rule of thumb. What type of lighting are you running?

    Do you want softies or lps? Flowy or stationary?

    PC? T5HO? T8? T12?

    I love scolys and acans. A giant pagoda would be nice.

    As long as it isn't directly at them.

    please answer the bulb type question.

    As long as those bulbs are not T8, which I believe they are. Then he can have one too.
