    Default clown problems, lighting suggestions,etc

    Well, From putting so much fish in my tank, my clownfish died#ed_op#img src="richedit/smileys/Sad/2.gif"#ed_cl#,
    my other clown looked very sick, and I learned a valuable lesson not to
    overcrowd a tank, and a tank of a few healthy fish is worth alot more
    than a load of unhealthy fis#ed_op#span class="gen"#ed_cl##ed_op#font face="Verdana" size="1"#ed_cl##ed_op#b#ed_cl##ed_op#span id="change_title"#ed_cl#u#ed_op#/span#ed_cl##ed_op#/b#ed_cl##ed_op#/font#ed_cl##ed_op#/span#ed_cl#h.
    So, I put my 2nd clown in quarantine and nursed him back to health and
    he is doing fine now but i sold him to a fish store so it would not
    happen again. My fuzzy dwarf lionfish is now eating frozen silversides
    and frozen shrimp also!!! #ed_op#br#ed_cl#

    When I first bought my tank I got it off of my
    friends friend, and I got lighting, 55 gal tank, stand, food, 40 lbs
    live rock, filters, skimmer for only $200. So i couldn't pass that deal
    up. But now, i'm thinking about putting better lighting in becuase
    right now i have one bulb and am thinking about adding annemones. Any
    good lighting options for a 55 (48" light needed) gal tank? Send me
    some sites if possible...#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

    Sorry to hear about your loss, but I'm glad to hear the 2nd clown made it. Lessons can be painful, but the important thing is not to forget what we've learned from them. I'm glad your lion is eating well!

    Most Anemones need strong light to do good. You can keep them under PC and VHO if you have a lot of it.
    Some are easer thin others after deciding on witch one you wont we can help more

    Hear is a good place to look at options for lighting
