lighting ?
Well.. I have a 48inch two light shop fixture that sits on the top of mine..
the reflector sides go all the way down so it sits on the edges of those..
it's made by Lights of America however and they don't seem to be in biz
anymore. the other fixtures (two light shops) i use for my plants do not
have the reflector made the same, so they suck for anything but hanging. I
have a coralife 10Kk daylight ( i think it was daylight) and an actinic in
it.. just put the actinic in couple weeks ago and wishing i'd gotten the
50/50 instead. I do NOT have any high light requiring corals in there, but
the polyps I have, especially a ricordia, supposedly need strong light, but
they are doing great in my tank.. they are normal output flourescents by the
way. The actinic is just for looks.. it brings out the flouresence in the
polyps and they look really neat. Kind of works like a blacklight. I don't
know if just one bulb would be enough even for lower light requirements.
Really depends on exactly which ones you want.

Spent a lot of time on the nano reef site and many of the corals thrive
in low - high lighting. My question is, what is low lighting for them?
In my dutch aquarium I use full spectrum lighting for my plants. Would
the same work for the low light requirements of some of the corals? I
use the standard hood on my tank which has room for one bulb.
Thank you,
Vicki
