    not really. Fluorescent begin to gradually dim. In aquariums where light is needed for proper plant growth, after about 9 months the fluorescent bulb is only producing about %50 of what it used to. Thus replacing is needed.

    But the conversion of this takes a fair amount of time.

    By the time the waste is turned into free nitrogen, it sits for a time as ammonia (NH3). The ammonia in high enough quantities kills the coral and reduces the efficiency of the live rock significantly.

    And not all NH3 is turned into free nitrogen. A very good portion of it turns into nitrate, which also kills corals. Why do you think we do water changes? Regardless of how much free nitrogen is created, having dirt on LR is always bad.

    Lighting depends on what you want to keep. Just fish won’t require much, 1-3 watts per gallon. Different corals require different lighting. Google what types of fish and corals you’ll want to keep and plan ahead. That is my advice.

    nice vid. the only think IMO that is wrong is the removing of waste from the live rock, because as it decays bacteria take it from ammonia, to nitrite, to nitrate, and unlike many filter medias live rock also contains the bacteria to convert nitrate to nitrogen gas, which is then released into the air.

    Not a fan of the DVD. Is this older? A simple trick for feeding corals ( or specific corals) is to instead of shutting down your water circulation and filtration just cover the coral with a simple glad cup and slowly lift the cup up and down to recirculate uneaten foods until the coral is done feeding. You can then contain the extra food and move on to a new coral. You avoid a lot of stress this way. Also mainly corals directing feed off of light. At night it is good to catch food due to nolight

    make sure your water quality is stable, good lights and frequent feeding should keep you fine. also make sure you have no fish/inverts that would attack it
