I got this Power-glo 24'' 20 watt light to fit in the proper hood for my tank. (right now im using a 15watt 15'' or so from my 10g) anyways, i put it in the hood, and find out the hood is bad. So do i have to buy a new hood(the thing that holds the balb) and a new cover for the tank (the thing the hood sits on)?

Also what kind of life can a 20watt support? such as corals or mushrooms. My friend that works at the lfs said i could get a anemone. they are 10$ and are a awesome pink color
 
20 watts isn't good for too much. I did keep some hardy mushrooms under a 20w lamp years and years ago, but they weren't the healthiest and hardly grew any. I couldn't remotely recommend anything else. The anemone advice is suspect, as that is woefully inadequate for any of the normally kept photosynthetic anemones--that definitely won't work. The pink color also has me concerned as to whether or not it has been dyed that color.
 
I know i cant have like a gardon or anything lol. I just want one, or two max for the clowns to host, i know you cant force them, but i would like them to be there. I also like the way they look.


Anyone know about replacing hoods? how much they cost and such?
