I have a few moderated stupid questions for you guys, if you have a second to answer.
Ok, I have a newly established tank. My ammonia dropped to 0, my nitrites is about the same, and the nitrates seems to be relatively low as well, but above 0.
Anyway, I'd like to get into some non-fish life, and I see you guys trade around fragments of corals all the time. I'm wondering if there's a time that my tank needs to be established before I should get into such things, or if good water is just good water, and I'm ready to roll already.
Also, I currently have poor lighting. Right now, I have a 35w flourescent in the tank, and that's it. Obviously not enough.
My tank is a 55 gallon, and I'm wondering what a good (not too over the top), not too expensive lightning system would be for my tank? Would I be best served by going DIY?
Thanks! I appreciate the help, and I love the fact that this is a local site. My favorite aqua-related site so far!
