    Hi this is my first post...We have 100g with LR. Lots of hermits, snails, 2 Emerald crabs, 2 tomato clowns and 2 scissortail gobies It's been running now for 4months. We have everything but the proper lighting for corals. What type of lights are recommended? We've been doing some research but it gets confusing with all the abbreviations...Still new to all this. Thanks

    Thanks! Does anybody have a great recommendation on a source to buy such lighting?
