Any opinions? I got an anemone and some small polyps the nem does't look to good and the polyps are not opening! I need to know what to do please HELP.

If you want to have nems and SPS you should consider the TEK Elete series or ATI Sun Power or ATI Powermodule.

Hey Chavez. Sorry you're still having issues. IMO your tank is just too young for your nem and possibly corals too. Lighting, feeding, placement, flow, etc, is only part of the equation. You could be doing everything right but without a mature tank, the outcome wont be too good. Hopefully things turn around for you.

hey everyone, thanks for all your help it's been a long road.And im kinnda (scared on losing a ton of money). Really its all my fault for being so gullable listing to everything my lfs told me. I have recently switched lfs and they are alot more helpfull then the last one. This place has been around for almost 20 years and really love the hobby as their customers. Also does any one know where i can get some really good lighting? the local places here really dont have much. I have also thought about putting together my own setup what would you recomend for a DIY? i want to stay with T5's or leds. please let me know.

All of us have wasted money at some point due to incorrect advice and/ or lack of research so we can all feel your pain. Its good you found another LFS. Hopefully they can be more helpful to you than the last. Just to be safe though, do your own research and ask questions on forums like Reefland. Its good to validate information from multiple sources before deeming the information useful or correct.

Websites like marine depot, bulk reef supply, etc... usually have a large selection of light fixtures at reasonable prices.
They even sell retrofit kits that might be what you're looking for as far as DIY.

Thanks James for the encouragement, Ill definitley check out the sources you mentioned. Ill keep you guys posted as to how things are progressing. If only i was a wizzard that would solve alot of problems LOL.

Hey guys just a quick question have you guys ever heard of sunbrite led light systems? They look pretty sweet but im not convinced i wanna or can for that matter spend that kind of coin on a light. If you wanna see it you can go to Buy Aquarium Lighting - LED Lighting & Moonlights | Vivid Aquariums to see it all the info is there! please let me know what you think.
