some people have bad reactions to the bristles too.. like swelling/redness.. I've only had it happen once but it's not bad imo.. my royal gramma had them all over his face, I think he was trying to kick one out of his cave..

don't add any coral/anemones until you at least upgrade lighting. a t8 will not sustain coral or anemones.. it might do some soft corals, but they'll be brown turds, just ask my lfs..

oops my bad, I thought assumed you had a T 5 on there....I have a smaller tank with a T5 so I assumed. My bad...thanks guys! (and by if you feel right yes I meant if your parameters were good ...(seems I need to slow down a bit today...**** work and real job):xd:

Lol I do have 2 t5 bulbs they are both 15 watt full spectrum so right now I have 30 watts full spectrum shining down in the tank

that's not enough for anything more than brown soft corals.. lol.. you need at least t5ho, I'd say at least 4 of them. look into the oddysea t5 fixtures (and replace the bulbs with good bulbs), that's what I used for the first year, super cheap and grew everything including sps..

I just looked up that light and I think im gonna have to get it soon reviews are good and the price is cheap

Thank you everyone for their help. I may be asking a lot of questions (different posts) and some of them may be somewhat the same, but I am taking in everyone's answers and replies and learning a lot.
