Hi everyone! I am pretty new at all this (started my first 29 gal at the beginning of 2003). The tank is the Eclipse 3, and after much research, I decided to work on building a reef tank with mostly corals and inverts and a few fish. I have 45 lbs of live rock, from Flying Fish Express, which is really taking off, but I am concerned about my lighting and need some advice. I'd love to get some corals going in a few months or maybe sooner, but right now, the most wattage I could retrofit into the Eclipse hood is a 65w Smartlight. Am I right in assuming this is not enough? I don't plan on going for clams or any tough hard corals, but I'd like to get more in the tank than just mushrooms and leathers. I am guessing that someone here has experience with the Eclipse hood issue. How do I determine how much light I need and then how do I successfully get that over my tank? I am still in grad school, so I don't have a ton of money for mh lighting right now, although I do eventually want to go that route with a bigger tank.

Also, this may sound silly, but can someone please explain frags to me? I have read many websites about them, but am still not sure how they could be incorporated into my tank. Is that something I am just not ready for yet? Please help! Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
