Guys, I’m going to mount 4 bulbs with these parameters in my T5 panel https://www.mrosupply.com/lighting/ballasts/fluorescent-ballasts/1854552_flft521w835_fulham-lighting/ it is 21W or to take something brighter? 

 

 

Most people use LEDS and we have 2 very good local people

 

Reefstar and Ocean Revive who could tell you exactly what type of light would work well. 

 

 

the new LED panel will be expensive I think. Is it really consumes less energy? Is it worth of spent $$$?

It depends on what type of coral you want to keep. SPS require a lot of flow and as a result your sand could blow all over if it's to fine. Do you have an idea of the type of coral you want to keep?

I want to buy green palys, leather and pipe corals, and some hard corals. 

Hi,

Here is another question from the newbie.. Well, I really can’t understand the light parameters for the reef tank. Are there any standards to follow? I have currently the old fish tank panel that would be suitable for 90gal tank. Can I use it for my future corals?

Thanks 

Hi

Folks, what type of white sand do you buy for your reef tanks? I want it to be always pure (if it is possible). Should I buy fine sand or not?

thanks

Hello!

I’m Fred. I want to keep the corals. I hope to learn about the reef tanks here.
