    Questions on lighting

    Hey, first time post. I have a 90 gal bowfront with 140 lbs liverock and I am ready to buy lighting for it. I want to grow some coral but don't want to be a farmer with it. Any suggestions on the subject?

    I'm more in it for the fish, but i want some coral to complete the reef. I would like to have a clam also.

    to keep clams u will need mh or t-5, if u were goin to go with mh than 2-250w should work and if u want t-5 than try a 6 or 8 54w fixture from TEK
