View Full Version : PC Lighting Recommendation

Hey Guys,

My 192W PC light fixture went out and I have to order a new one. I'm
wondering if the 192W (96W actinic and 96W-10,000 K) was overkill for my
30-gallon tank. I have some live rock with green polyps, ricordea, other
assorted pink mushrooms, some greenish ricordea and what I was told was a
leather coral (not sure exactly what kind). I'm not sure that I would ever
want to get any more difficult to keep corals. Do you think that I can get
away with replacing my 192 W with just a 96 W fixture?

Thanks.

Maddie,
I have 2x 55W PC (6700K + "deep blue" actinic) and the tank is doing
fine. I have yellow leather coral, some mushrooms, star polyps and
hammer coral, and everybody seams to be happy. I haven't tried SPS
tough...
I don't think 192W would hurt either

Regards
Yuriy
