Setting Up 90g

**charlie** · 04-19-2005, 09:09 AM

I think the 2 175w over the 58 would probably be fine, with the dsb.
When I ordered my live rock, it was from Flying Fish Express, which is now Reefer Madness.

I Know This Is Off The Topic Of Lighting But I Was Wondering I Have Live Rock That Has Aptasia On It I Was Going To Scrub It Off When I Move The Tank So I Don't Have To Spend As Much Money On The Rock. So I Was Wondering Willthat Hurt The Rock If I Was To Scrub It? Lfs Told Me Just To Take Salt And Put It On The Rock Were The Aptasia Is Then Scrub It Then Clean The Rock With Ro/di Water. Will This Ruin The Rock Or Will It Just Kill Off Any Life That Is Currentlyon The Rock. I Just Wanted To Know If This Is Ok, I Really Don't Want To Spend Alot Of Money On Rock.

How much aiptasia is on the rock? I usually just use a kalk paste and squirt it into their little mouth. Usually melts the little *******s right on the spot.

I Have Probably About 4 To 5 On Some Of The Rocks, Then I Find A Few Here And There. Just Never Had Any Luck W/anything I Have Used. So If You Have Any Advice That Would Be Great. I Haven't Put Up The New Tank Yet. Right Now I Think I Am Going To Move The Other One And Then Slowly Buy Everything I Need For The Next Tank That Way I Can Put Everything Up Together To Avoid Anyproblems. So I Think I Am Going To Purchase 1x250 20k To Put Over The 58g Tank. Do You Think That Will Be Enough. I Know You Told Me About The 2x2 And Having 1x250 Over Each But I Didn't Know If 2x250 Would Be Over Kill On My Tank.
I THOUGHT THAT IF I AM GOING TO GET 2 X 250. MABEY I WOULD BE SMART JUST TO GET 1 X 400 20K WHICH WOULDN'T BE AS MUCH LIGHT BUT INTESITY WOULD DEF. BE THERE. BUT AGAIN IT COULD BE OVER KILL. I APPOLOGIZE TO ASK ALL THESE QUESTIONS BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE AT THE LFS CAN'T GIVE ME AN ANSWER AND SEEMS THEY JUST WANT TO SELL WHATEVER WILL COST MORE. SO THANKS AGAIN

I would just go ahead and get 2 250w lites. It won't be overkill at all, I run 2 250w on my 80. Once you move things into the 90, you'll see what I mean!!!
