    Some help please guys

    I have had my tank setup for 6 months now and im thinking of getting some bits for it for being a good boy this year. I was thinking of getting another AquaRay 600 Marine Blue and a controller to let me recreate sun rises, sun sets and storms n stuff………..

    Do you think I will have TOO MUCH lighting?.......or……….Could this money (£179.98) be better spent elsewhere?

    Hardware
    Display Tank (30Gallon (L30” x H18” x W15”))
    Sump (13 Gallon)
    Lights (TMC Aquabeam 600 (Reef White 14K & 50K))
    T5 Twin (2 x 22” High output Marine White)
    LiveRock (35lbs)
    Churched Coral substrate (50lbs)
    Protein Skimmer (TMC V2 Skim 400)
    Heaters (1 x 150w Neoheater & 1 x 150w Glass Heater)
    Return Pump (Eheim 1250 Universal)
    Power Head (Hydor Koralia Evolution 2800)
    (Hydor Koralia 1600)

    Cheers

    It sounds like you have quite alot of light. If you really want to spend the money I suppose you could. No one is stopping you I guess. lol But Im sure what you have is more than adequate. It sounds like you are looking for more control-ability instead of more light. Maybe you could spend the good boy money on stocking the tank with frags instead? Just my two cents though. Hopefully someone else will chime in as well.
