I'm sorta new to the saltwater fish gig, but I'm learning lots of things quickly (It's become my new obsession), but the lighing situation has always confused me. Today I modified my tank hood so I can fit an extra light on top of my tank. I thought that maybe the puny 15 watt that came with the tank just wasnt cutting it, so I added an identical fixture cut down so both lights fit on my 10 gal tank. The new fixture has an "eclipse" bulb in it wich I know nothing about. Is this enough lighting, too much lighting, or maybe just right.
Anyhow the inhabitants consist of 2 yellowtail damsels, 2 chromis, 1 scooter blenny, 1 haitian anenome, a decent size polyp frag, 5 nassarius snails, and 1 hermit crab. (I will be getting rid of the damsels and chromis soon for some more interesting fish) I plan to add some corals and zoos pretty soon is the light too strong or not good enough to support my creatures. I also have 2 powerheads, a skimmer, a heater, and a 3 stage filter. What else do I need?
