Clownfish and shroom

[JNalley]

Any better lights maybe with some different functions and shades of light out there? Really not sure. I do love the look of the blue light.. but is that mainly for coral and things? Or do clownfish have a preference at all?

Corals, Anemone's, and pretty much anything photosynthetic will require a decently strong Marine light.

There are plenty of options available for lights, but the best thing to do is match the light with the tank footprint. What are the dimensions of your aquarium?

Fish won't care about lights.

Like someone else mentioned, that's a feather duster.

Don't get an anemone, yet. Your tank is going to go through changes as it matures, some of these changes are ugly and some are going to require intervention. Anemones aren't going to like these changes. Wait until your tank is mature and stable. There will always be anemones for sale somewhere.

I wouldn't change anything on your tank for a couple months. Let your tank stabilize, develop your maintenance routine. Keep testing and keep reading. Keep your hands out of the tank as much as you can, just let it do its thing.

Spend that time figuring it ut what you want to keep. What kind of corals and inverts (like anemones) you want. From there, you can figure out what light will be the best fit.

Be patient. In this hobby, nothing good happens fast.

So it's a father duster? An they open an close up? And quite a few on the live rock. Pretty neat watching it open and close.

Yeah they are pretty cool. Most time if you wave your hand over them they will close then open right back up. Fun to do lol

That's what I kept doing! I thought it was a coincidence at first when it would close.. but super cool to watch!
