Posted via Mobile Device | 5w per gallon will do ya fine using LED's.

Posted via Mobile Device | Yup, your good on both accounts.

Posted via Mobile Device | There are going to be many opinions on this one, but in my experience you can keep LPS and Softies with no troubles. I have had trouble with SPS, but have since gotten my tank parameters in line and am going to try the easy ones again. Birds Nest for one. A few Staghorns. With enough light and superb water you should be able to keep SPS. The thing with those are you have to watch everything very closely.

Thanks! Yknow, I just wanted to share, I've always liked Mandarin Dragonets, but knowing their care level I always just sorta daydreamed. So I was surfing the Internet and found this: Caring for a Mandarin Goby and I asked my LFS, apparently they feed them live Brine Shrimp, and they actually eat it 0.0 I know they would still need a steady supply of Copepods, Mysis Shrimp, and Cyclop-Eeze, but do you think this is even remotely possible?

Posted via Mobile Device | Yup. quite a few people have them. They usually just dose PODS into their tank. And there are a few that have "trained" them to eat mysis shrimp and other things. Some LFS sell PODS.

If I do end up buying one, I'll need an example first. I believe they had maybe 3-4 there, all in different tanks. And is it really true it's impossible for them to get Ick? Sorry for the question load....
Posted via Mobile Device | All fish can get Ich. Ich really is a disease that mostly get into the gills, you visually see it on the fish after the fact. As long as you can keep the PODS alive in the tank, which isn't very hard, you can keep them. They require alot of rockwork and such because of the PODS. If you've ever seen one, they dont' swim around fast at all, they more or less float and hop around looking for food.
