    Smile Saltwater newbie needs help. 30 gallon tank

    Hello All, I just purchased a 30 gallon tank and want to grow coral as well as have 3 or 4 fish. I currently have 2 damsels and about 25 lbs of live rock. I have a 28 watt 50/50 (50% -10000K Daylight , & 50% True Actinic 03 Blue) light. Should I change to 100% True Actinic Blue? Any recommendations will be greatly apprecciated. Thanks.

    doesnt really matter i dont think . its more of the watts per gallon i think its 5 watts per gallon . thats too small of a watt for that tank. how long have you had your tank?

    bump azndjay. you need more lighting if you want corals. or if you want then to thrive atleast.

    i wouldnt add any more fish because would be too hard of a bio load.
    BOOMER SOONER!!!!
