Default Lighting Question

StringerBell wrote on 11/12/2006 1:55 PM:
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?


That's 3.6 watts per gallon.
I would not call that moderate light, I would call that
low light.

When you hit 4 watts per gallon I would then call that
moderate light.

Ideal is 5 to 6 (I have 6.6) watts per gallon for a nice
coral reef.

Softies will grow fine under the 3.6 watts per gallon.

Stonies will grow, but will have less vigor, and will tend
to get ailments.
