ya dont use live rock if your going fish only unless your going to use proper lighting and filtration ,,,, the rock can go bad and poison a tank if not looked after ,, there alot of life that can die on the rock ,,, i suggest a good skimmer ,,, hope this helps

@checkavailability175 An ordinary light set definitely will not work with corals.

the only secret from preventing nemo and dory to float dead ,,,,that pet shop and under money sucking companies don’t tell you…… is to regularly do water change that is it,,,,,you don’t have to buy those expensive filters skimmers,,bio balls fancy light and shit,,,i have a tank it runs with ordinary light,,ordinary air pump no dead fish for almost 2 years just do weekly water change half tank

in mh’s (metal halides) the things right below the light will turn black… this means they are expired and need to be replaced, mh’s need to be replaced about once a year

not really. Fluorescent begin to gradually dim. In aquariums where light is needed for proper plant growth, after about 9 months the fluorescent bulb is only producing about %50 of what it used to. Thus replacing is needed.
