What to buy?

So "santa" gave me about $60 to spend. My current setup is:

Tank: 40 acrylic
Soft Corals: (zoas, mushrooms, Toadstool, ricordeas, anthelias)
Flow: Hydor Evoluation 750gph, 2x Aquaclear 125gph
Fish: Sri Lanka Chromis
Maintenance: CuC and Mangroves
Lighting: 150W MH Stock 10000k bulb

Basically I think i either want to order one of these options, Whats YOUR opinion???


1. Rock Flower Anenome, Zoas, Mushrooms, more soft corals.

2. Another Hydor Evolution for more random flow.

3. 150W MH Phenoix bulb

(i really think i want the bulb because my current one just makes everything in the tank look brown, i want corals to pop and be healthier. Plus i think with the bulb it will reduce the amount of brown algae growth i am getting.?

 

Hmm..... well you should buy a beer and sandwich and just watch your aquarium XD well you should do that and get some zoas and soft corals

 

and if anyone has recommendations based off my curernt setup, feel free for advice on anything to get!!!!!

 

I would get the bulb ;D

 

I agree with the bulb, it will make your aquarium look much better.

 

do you think it will help with my brown algae issues all over teh sand?

I got my pendant/ballast/10000k bulb last spring and havent upgraded since.

 

I think it would help with algae issues overall but the algae your talking about is most likely caused by excess nutrients in the water.

 

Yea Im not sure what else I can do about that without getting a RO/DI unit. I have a 30" T5 (not high output) ballast that I was thinking about getting either two 50/50 bulbs or two full actinic bulbs and using that to simulate the morning/evening before and after the metal halide fires up. Do you guys think this setup or getting the phenoix bulb would be better?
