You have 3 watts per gallon. You can keep soft corals.
Some of the easier stony large polyp corals can also be kept, but be forewarned that this lower light level will leave such stony corals more at risk, though they may look nice, and grow, they won't have as much vigor to fight off infections and such.

But it so much easier to have good lighting and not have
to worry about placement of the corals to get more light to the coral.

MH light rules :-) But if you put corals TOO close to the light, and they WILL bleach... Yeah, I've heard this. I think there was a recent article in the "Tropical Fish" rag. They recommended introducing new lightly in increments rather then just a swap out. I was planning to radically cut back on the hours of light and then ramp back up to where I am when I get my new lights. Don't know if that's necessary, but I figure it won't hurt anything. --Kurt |

That's rarely a problem. They may not bloom out as much,
but rarely do they really suffer from the increased lighting. Many a times I've taken corals from low light areas and put them right under 400watt mh lighting. It *can* produce a problem, but rarely does. If you want to play it safe, you can place the corals lower, and move them up, or reduce lighting , but I'm not too keen on the idea of the reduce lighting method, preferring the coral moving method.
