C0lin Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 So I gave away my freshwater fish to a friend with the intention of converting my 40b to saltwater. The only thing I'm worried about is my light fixture being good enough for my coral. I pretty much just have softies and the such, but I don't have the money to upgrade right now. I bought this on ebay, but got the daytime bulb from Garrett a little while ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That should do fine for some low light corals I wouldthink if they are both 96 watts you will be fine =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kriz2fer Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah with some soft corals should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefnjunkie Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Yeah with some soft corals should be fine. +1 on the softies, My nano had PC bulbs and did not sustain SPS, not even when I had them high in the tank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C0lin Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 So hammers, frogspawns, etc will be ok? Looks like I'm gonna need some base rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kriz2fer Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Those are LPS and may need a little more light but you could try them out and see how they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trautman Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hammers and frogspawn will do fine... just make sure they are a little higher up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 IME the LPS you listed will do fine under those lights, and ever under far less, as long as they are fed well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
