any ideas for a low light 90g
 
after doing some priceing for lighting for my 90g then looking in my wallet only to find a four month old safeway reciept,i was kicking around the idea of going for a low light reeftank say two 10ks and two actinics, seeing the colours on some of the deepwater corals and sponges,i thought there must be a reason why not alot of people have them in there tanks,if any one wants to post some ideas or sites that might help out please do so thanks ...john
whats in the tank right now is
2"-3"ls and 60lbs of lr one naso tang a snowflake eel,and a green birdmouth wrasse,

The low light corals are beautiful, but they wear me down. I think I will sell my sun coral, as my orange Scleronephthya is growing like a weed and therefore easier for me to care for. The red gorg did well until I lost it in a rock move.... :rolleyes:

None of these corals would belong in an immature system, or one without adequate filtration as they have high feeding requirements since they are non-photosynthetic.

the filters i have on there right now are a 20" fluidized sand filter two 802s plus a prizm with surface skimmer,no3 is less than 2ppm,if you think i should wait a little while so the system matures then thats what ill do,and it will give me some time to figure out what corals would go well.

Is your Scleronephthya fraggable? I can trade you for a larger frag from my red gorgonian colony.

Sam, your gorg is doing great ! :cool:

The S. is not really big enough to frag yet. It was about the size of two nickels when I bought it a month ago. Now it is three nickels... :lol: If it does well, then maybe next time I come.
