Welcome to MR.....You've gonna love the way we turn this hobby into an addiction for you 
...if you haven't done so already that is.
...if you haven't done so already that is.i'll just start by saying im a family man,work,all that good stuff and im really into gaming xbox360 anyway since i started wich was about a month and a half ago i havent even touched my 360 which is my second love to my family but i have to say that the 360 has taken a back seat to my new found hobby.:sgrin:
i used to work in petland way back anyway one of the guys who was heavy in to his sw tank bought a clam and it did pretty good so for my first test i got the clam 25 cents the same clam that goes for 5.99 in some site anyway he is doing great and i took a liking to him:wink1: .and im on shakespeare 167.was on fordham the other day such a big place no lfs with sw fish from there to here, have to go to third ave to get something and there shops are small with maybe one or two tanks:banghead: .

no doubt i grew up on 144th and willis went to school at morris h.s my thing is in the future i want to get atleast one anenome and i read that i need an mh but i heard others say that you can use a p.c i want to know which is better? my tanks depth is 18 1/2 inches so if anyone can recommend one that would be great and plus i want to get some corals too.
im not suggesting u should get them for you tank specifically.
Just wanted to throw another option out there to look into besides PCs and MH.
T-5 lighting is relatively new on the scene. Um....you should do a lot of reading up before making your mind on what to buy. So decide if you want to do corals and what type of coral, let us know, and then u can give u better advice.
Btw...just use the Search function on the site and type in "T-5" and you should get a few results back.
This thread below has been one of my fav. The guy that writes it is very entertaining and gives good info. He gives the basics of reefiing hobby.
