I'm a NooB

[KorD]

Hello Everyone!
I'm new to the saltwater experience for a month now, and am getting very addicted.

As for now I have a nano/pico tank set up with a few little friend all happy as can be. Be forewarned about any of my stupid questions… I am a Noob

Here is my pride and joy so far:

RIP the torch

Nice! Welcome.

welcome! nice nano sorry about the torch. That was my saddest loss a couple years ago :/

Thanks, I just wish I knew what my output on my lights are. They are the ones that came with the tank and I think that is what killed my torch. I guess I'm stuck with zoas and critters

Welcome aboard. That's a real good start. You'll catch on to the little things after awhile. Like how a torch will get paler when getting too much light. What kind of light is on your tank?

Thanks for the welcome! the light I have is an Aqua Top HiaYang LED-50. I'm thinking it is way too much for the torch since it died.. I have no idea what the actual output of it is since there is really no information out there about this light.
I would love a good suggestion on a new light that will keep everything getting enough light and still be able to add new things to my tank.

 

[Mike J.]

You're certainly correct about not being able to find any info on that light. But, I would presume judging by their other LED lights that it wasn't sufficient to keep corals. What size tank is it that you have? We can point you to a light that won't drain your wallet.

The tank is a 4gal pico/nano (depending on who is calling it what)
here is the list of things being housed in the tank, and have been before I received it (was a display for a LFS)
a clown fish
two shrimp (peppermint & Sexy)
hermit crabs
Lavender Clove polyp
mushrooms (three types)
Red finger gorgonion
a zoanthid (one head, and thinking it is called a red eye)
nassarius snails
