I am very new and have been getting help along the way, I was gonna use my biowheel for water movemoent because I had one on hand, but decided to just get 2 powerheads. Watermovement is neccassary in fresh and extremly important for salt tanks. It eliminates dead spots, gives fish currents like in the wild, and is good for your live rock and corals if you have them, some corals dont like too much though. Thats the basics (i think) on water movement.
Anyway, i am thinking of chaning to a FOWLR tank for a couple of reasons. One is the price of the lights (i know its not that much but since im in high school right now I need to save for everything possible, and my mom is really agaisnt a 100 dollar light, and also when I go away to college I dont know how well some coral will fair so i think I may just got with a small like 36-50 watt light, its painfull to try and not go with corals but I think im gonna have to go with a less expensive one, but Ill see what happens.
Are there any corals I could have with a 65 watt hood? or should i just go with a 36 watt for the light and no coral?
