Lighting for reef tanks
Some corals and anemones will take a little longer
to die :-)

Absolutely !
Though the corals will only live a few days.
But you can restock it once a month :-)

A friend of mine who has had corals(don't know what kind) and
apparantly anemones had a 90 gallon tank and was selling off his
equipment. He said the light fixture was 48" and I knew that would
fit my 55 gallon tank which I plan to make a reef tank. So I assumed
it would be at least 200 W or better since he had a tank with anemones
on 90 gallon.
When I looked at the light, it looked like the light that comes with
tanks. Just a regular 48" fixture with 2 flourescent bulbs (not
compact, just the regular type). One actnic and one regular both only
40 watts each.
Is it possible to have a reef tank in 55 gallon(let alone his 90
gallon) with just 80W of regular flourescent bulbs?
