6g long tank for coral raising

[CoolWaters]

getting a great deal on some coral later

and planning to grow them in my 6g long tank (was for my uncle's reptiles)
but he gave it to me. using a duel 25 watt light and a LED moonlight 1 watt.
someone said i should just use the moonlight if i want to grow them but doesnt it need the wattage to have bright colors?

do i need to have a certain fish or other things (besides LR) for it to grow?
is there such thing as COWLR? lol

many people actually do run fishless tanks for growing out coral, and it will work fine. You will definitely want the lights though (not just the LEDs). You don't even really need LR as the corals produce very little waste. A barebottomed tank with some eggcrate for placing frags should work great

thats for that tip just reminded me how all the LFS display there coral...eggcrates...

What kind of corals do you plan on aquacultering?

wat ever is at my LFS thats at a cheap/good price...this one LFS is closing soon (well moving) and he wants to get rid of everything (live stock will die) he had over 100 corals and a week later hes down to like 25...so i bet he wants to get rid of the rest asap....

Once you find out what kind of corals your getting, let us know and then we can help you out with what kind of requirements it will have (if you need).

i saw the water specification...its just a little too much for me to handly right now. maybe in the summer i'll convert all my tanks for reefs but need a long break.
