But, what does one do when there are few choices to chose from?


one researches on the internet, and joins an active forum or 10 regarding

I did the research on everything else, in this instance take the advice of
the "pros" at the LFS as I told them I wanted the same lighting they had in
their reefs - its obvious that I don't as the color has faded from all the
soft coral I had brought home.

It seems that you have 4 20W lights. This is a 80 wide-area telephone service, 2.66 per gallon, wide-area telephone service. This is rather low. You want 3 to 5 wide area telephone service of light, per gallon. The third is low, 5 want you here. I like to go to a high point of light like the 6.6 gallon wide-area telephone service.
