well on thursday morning i woke up to my basement flooded. The bottom seal on my bowfront tank sprung a leak overnight. I had bought a 55 gallon drilled a month or so ago. But i was not looking at doing the change so soon. I lost everything but some of my snails and some hermit crabs. all my corals are dead.

well i have my 55 gallon botton drilled running now. So much nicer than my bow front. just need to reload it with coral. I had a hammer coral in the old tank that i think is coming back to life.

I had 3 24 inch t5s on my old tank. any suggestions on what I should do to light the new tank? i was thinking of buying 1 48 inch strip to go across the front with a 10kand 20k bulb in it. and i was going to use my 24 inch t5ho with 2 actinic bulbs in it across the back of the tank.
