Lighting

How many hours does a BTA need with 250 halides? Also, I have seen conflicting info on feeding. should they get large meaty foods or is a squirt of smaller foods good?

Alrighty... melev's site once again has intrigued me into the point of action. Marc, seriously, for the love of god do not write an article about how jumping off a bridge will spur massive growths in your corals and free frags will show up from all around.

For anybody that is wondering, this is the actual article I'm referencing. http://www.melevsreef.com/fotos.html It's a very good walkthrough on settings most even the basic cameras have and how you can get some high quality shots ...

I seen MH light at Lowes the other day. Can I use these bulbs? Are they the same as the ones y'all use? And, do they sell the T5 bulbs?

If I have a FRAG tank that is 48x48 ( LxW ) and put a combo MH/T5 light fixture over the center will the lighting be ok for LPS and SPS? That way I can kill 2 birds with one stone. I know I would be better off with a MH rig on half and T5 on the other half but looking to save a few pennies.

tks
