No coral are light demanding invertebrate due to the fact that tghey contain zooanthelle thus IMo go for pl, t5s or MH

MH = Metal halide and T5 = New fluorecent tube that the diameter of 5/8s of an inch.

[Naso Unicornis]

Perhaps you can tell us what corals you intend to keep? Also, what are the dimensions of your tank?

hi,

i think u need to upgrade your lights....I just sold sea marine my caulifower... heh... anyway, best to invest in a good set once and for all instead of having to upgrade after half a year or something...learnt from experience...spent alot of money last time on my 2 feet tank. was on 2 * 36w...then upgrade to 2*55w.... and blah blah blah...yup, save up loh....

If you have a small tank < 1 ft deep... it will probably be sufficient for most mushrooms, depending on species.

Knowing some newbies, they will end up buying unsuitable species and then be forced to upgrade to more/stronger lightings... and unless they have immediate cash, the livestock will suffer as they wait for their caretakers to upgrade.

Ask yourself what you intend to keep (that is, you first have to know what different livestock needs in terms of housing/feeding) and THEN setup your tank right the first time round so you save lots of $$$.
