Thanks for the tips everyone! Regarding my plans for the aquarium, in addition to the above critters, I would like (once well established) to get a starfish, an anemone, and a couple of clown gobies. I may try to get some easy to keep corals going, but I am not planning on getting too complicated.

Regarding the lighting, does anyone have a recommendation of what LFS I should take the hood to in order to find out about the replacement bulbs? I live just North of Austin. Thanks again!!! Alice
