Help! Need info and tips about keeping these fish!

could i put rocks fom lets say outside in the yard and put them in the tank on the live sand or rock and then they will become live?
 
And is it hard to take care of a rose coral? i saw one in a beginners section and i want to know what i have to do to keep it healthy.
 
answer really is no regarding the rock from the yard...Live rock is a very pourous rock..

Yes, rose corals are quite easy to take care of, provide medium lighting and flow and feed on planton every week...

what exactly is medium lighting?
 
ha ha ha...quite a broad question.....

people used to gauge lighting by watts per gallon, for example, a certian corals needs about 3 watts per gallon, this theory is not really used anymore as advanced lighting types become available...

I class medium lighting like VHO or power compact lighting, where as a high lighting i would class as metal halide...

There are two ways of classing lighting levels i suppose...one way as above and the other to class lighting is by how many watts you provide for the tank which, of course, is always going to be different as every tank is of a different size ( length and depth etc etc )..

Just a basic opinion of course...

How do i fit a power compact into my tank?
 
how do i get a flow going through my tank? A filter? The bubble making thingy?
 
flow is achieved by the use of powerheads. These are basically just compact water pumps which you attach inside the tank and pointed in certain directions..Another method of getting flow in the tank is via a closed loop system. A closed loop is simply a powerfull pump that sucks water out of the tank and then pumps back in the tank at different areas and directions..the beauty of a closed loop is that you dont have to have powerheads sticking all over the tank if your trying to acheive fast flow...
