PLEASE HELP!!!

well lets ask a different question them. I have 17 views and no responce last time here are my spects on my setup.

I want to start having claims. I had some that came with a tank that I bought but they didn't make it throught the trancfer. well what can you tell me to help me I like big claims but who dosn't they are increadable. I am setting up a 125 gallon system with about 175 LBS of live rock. my return pump is moving about 850 GPH and I have 2 K#4 pushing 12 GPH right now I have a 3rd one in a tank that I am selling that may go in later if that is not to much flow. My lighting I just ordered in

TWO 250 watt HQI with 14K hamilton bulbs. and one 150W metal halide

right now Im not sure what my filler lighting will be I am looking at T5s but they will be atinics so they will not help the claim only good for color.

what claims are good to try any of them Is there one that is easier to keep then others?

Thanks Roger

any reason why?

Requires less light and most that come in are cultured (farmed raised) and more tolerable to some disease that clams get.

well I do want cultured but don't I have plenty of lighting with two 250w HQI's ?
