i was thinking to upgrade it with a metalhalide so i can get a clam and maybe montipora later. what do you think?

@garrettparson

What lighting do you have at the moment? Metal halide, even 70w, might be excessive for such a small tank.  And a clam is possible but it will suck your tank dry of calcium.

mines been up and running for a week now. I cant wait to cram it with corals! ha

@garrettparson

Is that your montipora lying next to the HOB filter's intake? looks like it got knocked off the rock somehow lol.

@robotron5000

Yeah it did. But it's on the sandbed now.
