My employer was looking for a new home for a 55 gallon set up - so now it's in my living room
The current lighting system is 2 normal output 36 inch flourescents mounted in the hood.
I'm looking at upgrade options - right now the tank has a couple of fish and a lot of mushrooms.
I'm concerned that if I throw a bunch of HO T5s in there then the mushrooms won't like it. But I'd like to keep a broader range of corals.
Secondly the return plumbing from the sump is kind of half baked - basically a pvc hose dumps the water back into the tank - I'd like to change this and stop the house flooding if the power goes out.
Advice ?
