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.

Also since you have two 150 watt small point source lights, you can put
corals up close to those lights, and gain quite a bit more light,
whereas florescent light is more spread out. 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.

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.

I already have a "friendly" method: Talk about my and others' ponds,

and
studiously and quietly avoid the trolls.

Works surprisingly well for me.

I haven't posted much, because it's been a down summer/fall*, so not

much
happening in my interactions with the pond. Fortunately, it's big

enough
that Nature can manage just fine without me, though the hardy water

lilies
will need serious dividing as early in the spring as I can manage.

*Remodeling by the kitchen fire method. Effective, but NOT

recommended!

Blessed Be,
