yea id go lights too, but your tank will need time to adjust.
so you wont be able to leave them on all day, right away.
slowly increase the time their on so nobody gets burned.
then w/ lr, add it slowly, to prevent any extreme amount more of die off than your tank could currently handel

if you have the choice, MH 14k+ spectrum
other should chime in on the wattage, brand, bulbs, etc...:help:
i agree with everyone, but you need to do a water change as soon as possible. rinse with clean water any chemical filtration (don't do anything with biofiltration, the white things in your canister filter) and run everything the same untill you get more live rock. but of cause, upgrading the lights is the next step after the water change. do 25% of water change or so. oh, and before lights get there, feed your anemone every day if possible. the water change should help the anemone to come around for you to feed it. good luck
While BTA's do like very good water quality I don't personally think yours is horribly bad. A water change would easily bring you into the green. Your lighting is deffinately the cause. They require higher lighter, once you sort that out you should be in much better shape.
ok man im going 2 get the light youre talking about ....
for the MH, where can i get one and how much is it going 2 run me?
i have a 72 bow tank and i have my protein skimmer on the side....
is that going 2 mess with the MH or will it be ok on the side of my tank?
here is a pic of the top of my tank
thanks thats all i needed.
You can get 1 or 2 clamp-on MH for that tank. Did you follow that link I gave you to see if you have a local reef club nearby? You can put an add in there for a light. You can also look in the Used Equipment forum for one. You'll have to take the glass top off that tank too.
yea i saw it is the light you gave the link to is the a MH light .... and i could not find the page to the local reef club.. but i found the used equipment but they did not have and HM light i wanted
expand your options (there are other forums out there) craigs list etc.
id suggest tryin RC's drygoods fforum, ther's just more people over there.
id still like another member HERE to give you a better idea of what wattage and such youd want with a 70gal bow.... i just dont know...
