brookynella? (i think)

One of my clowns have severely faded in color. I'm worried he might die soon. Does my fish have brookynella? How do I treat this disease? Will my other fish suffer? How did he get it?

TIA.

Pretty hard to tell without a picture. Even if it is a baby mantis, there's not much you can do about it yet (at least I think there isn't). I'd be more worried about grown mantis. Let your rocks...

Maybe you have traces of copper? It's quite possible that the water your fish came with had copper (due to ick treatment), and if you poured that water into your tank...voila, copper traces. Crabs...

I would definitely use your 3 4 footers. If I were to choose lights I'd try 2 sets of actinic and 1 set 50/50's. If you go with 10k MH bulbs, it will look sweet. But it's all personal perference. ...

I concur with Yellowtang. And like David said, every MH bulb covers a 2 foot diameter. After you do the math, you'll see that you need 3 bulbs. HTH.

Vinegar is the recommended solvent for cleaning your equipment. But I believe it is also to thoroughly rinse with fresh water before use. HTH.

I don't see anything wrong with your plan. Of course you'll want to seed the base rock by placing it UNDER your established live rock. HTH.
