Coralife, I really like Their Products.......Makes a 30" Aqualight, which has 2 65" PC's that i'm intrested in getting. I want to get that one, and use it in conjunction with the Current Coralife Fixture I have now, to provide some 166w, because I feel like i may not have enough light for my Softies and Sps

Do you think that 130wPC would be enough for those corals???

Looks good.. I thought about starting with a 29, too, but went with a 40-breeder. Everything looks healthy and happy in your set up!

I've had like 8 clowns (my lfs had some sucky clowns, constant death almost.... stopped buying from there) And all went to my frogspawn with in a few months, my current one won't, so I'm buying every other coral that they might host in. Looks nice, I'm probably going with one black and white clown too. I like it alot. the aquascaping isn't anything fancy.

i plan on filling in some of the smaller crevaces with LR rubble and Corals.....so it will fill in, and hopefully look alittle better..

Remember good things take time, expecially in a reef aquarium..
