What corals with pc lighting?

Tattooedlife · 01-15-2004, 11:33 AM

What types of corals can I keep with pc lighting? 130w. I have a 55. With 90 lbs. fugi live rock. I have been keeping bubble coral, brown polyps, and mushroom rocks, for alittle over 2 years. I currently just have a 40w actnic and 40w 50/50. I don,t plan on keeping nothing other than the easier to keep corals. Any suggestions on what I can keep with the new pc's? The pc's come with two 50/50 bulbs. Would I be better using one 50/50 and one actnic? Please give me some suggestions. I may add more lights later, but this is what I plan on using for now.

Hi

I have 4 96 watt PC's and I use two whites, and two actinics. I am able to keep many different types of corals. I have leathers, mushrooms, plate, fungi, bubble coral, hammer coral.

I do not have SPS as they require more intense lighting.

My tank is an 80 gallon.

Good luck with your choices!
