Default Lighting Question

2) 36" Nova Extreme 4x39W T5 HO w/3 Lunar----There are two 460nm Actinic
Blue, two Daylight 10,000k Slimpaq T5 lamps, 3 Lunar lights, 4 Lunar lights
and docking mounts are included.


Both lights are about $200. I think there is more "bang to the buck" in the
Novas, but I was leaning toward the Coralife because it seems to have a
wider distribution (I thought that would be easier to get replacement
parts).


Also--I now have a 42 watt fixture (21w Flor/21 Watt Act). I have enough
room over my tank to fit the new lights and the old. The new 192 watts + the
old 42 watts brings me to 234 watts for 65 gallons. Is that sufficient for
"Moderate Light" Corals? Is it sufficient for a Bubble-Tip Anemone?


Nearly forgot; yes, the setup above is more than sufficient for your
critters.
