What type of coral???

[Johnny]

I need advice (again) :D . I have 2-55 watt PC fixtures and one NO over my 39 gallon tank, the tank is 30 inches deep. The PCs have very good reflectors. I have a 6 inch deep sand bed. I realize I am limited in the corals I can keep but I want some LPS corals that phosphores(sp?) well. What would work well under this moderate light?

Just curious, but how many watts is the NO?

As for corals go, I enjoy Brains (Will likely do well in the substrate), green frogspawns, torches, bubbles, and the candycane/trumpit coral should do good under your current lighting :)

I have the same question about my setup I have 4 55watt compact floresents and my thank is only 14 inches deep. What would work for mine?

Btad,

I suspect you could keep the same things. It would most likely it would only work for Johnny if he kept the corals in the upper-half of the tank. There are quite a bit of LPS corals out there that do great in captivity; exept the few such as the Flower Pot, and in some cases the 'Sun coral, AKA Tubestrea polyps.'

How old is this tank again Btad? Considering your tank is only 14 inches deep, and your lighting, you might be able to keep a plate in your tank. These do best if left in the substrate, rather on the rocks. I would only add these to a mature tank, IMO this would mean more than 6-8 months old.

My tank has been set up for about 2.5 to 3 years now.




I wish that I had more funds to be able to spend on my tank

Thanks, that is just what I was hoping to hear, I have always liked brain corals. The NO light is I think a 20 watt T5 it was in my hood from when I had a freshwater setup, I just fit it into the canopy. :D :D
