Options will vary, to me its high if you don't know what you are doing, But I know what is going on in my tank and i have a big sump area too.

p.s dont take my opinion as a scarcasm, It's hard to voice an opinion on the net without someone getting offened.

Looks like he has about 8 fish? I've got 6 in my 33(with skimmer), so yeah I dont think his bioload is high and if he has a sump and skimmer I'd say its just fine.

Tanks looks great! How many clams? Looks like, 5 or so?

For your question there Funky_ fish14
i have 15 in my tank. However they are small the only ones in there that will get big are the scopas that is a baby!! and the flame the is an adult size now. Thanks for the kinds words on the tank setup. Oh ya i have 4 clams in there 3 Crocea and 1 squamosa clam , Doug on this board will be taking one of the Crocea clams from me on Thurs.

As for my sump i have a 45 gal tank down stairs that i'm using to filter the bioload and a skimmer that is rated for 135 Reef/ 400 FOWLR. and lots of rock in the main tank i have 70-75 lbs and in the sump i have around 35 lbs.

I was just kidding Mike :razz:

I just meant that when you post a pic of your tank or any tank for that matter you are going to get comments good or bad. I always just ignore the bad ones unless they have merit :wink:

Tamara i love them they are 39 w that are overdriven to 60 w nice and bright Doug was over and we decided to change the lighting times to see what happens.

So I added the actinic on fron 2pm-9pm the corals are looking alot nicer too.
i was only running my actinics for 1 hr in the morning and 2 hrs at night just for supplment. The lights all on looks alot betterso i went the other way. I guess it's time to stock up on actinic's :lol:
