Mektommy asked:
I want to start a salt water tank, I don’t know if I want to start a reef or a fish only- live rock tank. I already have a 20 gal tall tank, a hood, and a light. The light is a single fluorescent bulb strip, nothing special. Should i set it on a timer for the coral, if i get any, or should I just avoid getting coral and stick to live rock.

coral is sick nasty. the trouble of a timer is worth it
i would put it on a timer. Also i would stick to just live rock.
BTW mushroom corals have been none to grow in floresant lighting with no trouble.
Fluorescent works quite well. Coral is expensive and I’ve heard hard to take care of unless you really know what you’re doing.
