I've got a question about metal halide setups. Is there any reason to get HQI based socket over mogul based socket? I'm just looking into getting a new MH setup for my 33g and would like the best but also would like to know why it's 'the best'.

I think I may have found it the first one is a hidden cup coral (below) and the second one might be Porites solida or Porites lobata. Am I close?

Anyone know what these things are? I can’t remember exactly but I think it’s a sps. I can’t find the name of it so any help would be appreciated. Sorry for the bad pictures. My 4Mp digital camera doesn’t like to be closer than 2 feet. I need to get a new zoom attachment. Thanks for any help...

I have a 33 gal (18" high) tank and I would like to keep an anemone for my black and true perc. What type of anemone would might my perc's like and do good in this small of a reef. A pink tip maybe? I know they might not host it but would like to see what choices I have for my tank size...

lol nice way to put me in place for my terminology. I guess what I meant was what coral will grow to the size/shape we have all come to know and love in my little 33 gal tank.

If I remember right some corals like tank's of a larger size. So if I'm right, what might those corals be that will not like or grow to maturity in my 33gal?

Another Question: if I remember right some corals like tank's of a larger size so if I'm right what might those corals be that will not like or grow to maturity in my 33gal? NVM I'll post this in a new topic.

Thanks for the info. When it comes time to replace the blubs the shock to my wife might allow me to get the 175WMH swapped in for the NO's. Now that I think about $30/bulb x 5 blubs = $150 about the same as a MH bulb around here. I'll keep this lighting until the tank is a year then get the MH...

I'm getting back into saltwater so I'm in need of some re-education. I was wondering if my current setup will meet the needs of almost all corals. Now before you laugh at it... my wife wouldn't let me spend alot at once so... a bit here... a bit there and in the end I've spent the same but she's...
