hi im a newb.
i need to ask a few questions on varyied marine live stock, lighting ect.
hope some one can help
i ordered some xenias of the internet. i could not find a place near buy that sold them, so i found a place that sent them out in post.
probably a silly thing to do. any way they arrived 2 days ago, one is a bright green carpet xenia which wasent on any rock, and the other was on a rock but is a diffrent type, its pale pink in colour.
when they arrived i assumed i should put them in the tank asap, then left them to settle whilst i was at work.
when i got home the green one looked well, but the pink one is still down and floppy looking. do you think it might be dead?
i dont think i have ever seen it pulse, so im thinking mabe it is
here is a pic of what it looks like (not a very good pic though, but its a ruff idea) click to make larger
also yesterday i brought a starter unit for 2 t5 lighting tubes.
the tubes that i broughtfor it were, a 22" t5 marine blue 420 actinic lighting tube + a t5 marine white 14,000k lighting tube, both are 24w each. (by arcadia)
is that good or bad lighting?
can i keep most corals on that lighting or would i need a stronger set?
oh yeh i still have the origenal marine set up for my tank, juwel trigon 190
corner tank, and they are
X1 coral sun, 24", 10,000k blue.
X1 ocean sun, 2", 10,000k white.
also one more question, i have been reading some threads, and i came across some one talking about a calcium reactor.
could someone tell me what this is and what its for?
thanks clarebear
