I am hoping i can use this lighting system with what i want to do, just get better bulbs and at least 1 of them being an actinic.
Does the fact that my tank has 49 lbs of well established rock (they came out of a tank that had then in it for almost 2 yrs), plus the live sand change anything with regards to how 'old' the tank is? Isn't this like the conditions you would have if you moved your exisitng established tank?
The answer is maybe. Sometime it causes a new cycle in the tank.
After the lights are off for an hour or so check with a flashlight. If the tank is crawling with tiny critters a mandarin is possible.
