But sure. *"Some" corals have low light requirements.

Black corals need hardly any light. *That's why they are found so deep
in the ocean. *There are entire coral beds lying in 300 ft of water
where light would be murky at best. *These probably live off of marine
snow rather then photosynthesis.

Whether you'd want to keep them in your aquarium, would be a different
question. *I'd turn it around and ask what you want to keep, and then go
from there. *Zoos and mushrooms are rumored to be the easiest and lowest
light species that commonly kept.

I have a FOWLR and I'm thinking of adding corals and or anemones. I
don't know anything about either of them so I'm here doing some
research. I know I don't want to buy any special lighting other then
bulbs so, from Soup to nuts, what will I need to do?
I'm successfully keeping some zoanthids and mushrooms using those fancy
schmancy flor bulbs....not fiddling with metal halide or anything, and
they're doing OK. From what I undertand the only thing that is flat out
eliminated from contention by doing it this way are clams and the like...

Outdoor lighting can be many styles and designs, you can happily add a warm touch to home or business. Only one trip down the outdoor lighting in a small island to see the large selection of shops - street lighting, low voltage lighting, accent lighting, flood lighting and many styles of lamps and torches.

The most common choice is fluorescent lighting. Fluorescent light does not produce unnecessary heat, they can provide a larger area of ​​light, one. They are generally inexpensive and readily available.

Go to your admired pet abundance that has lots of puppies. Tell them that you wish a puppy. Tell them that you apperceive that you don't wish to accept to feed it. Then ask them which puppy you should get.

My accepted set up is 75 gal catchbasin with approx 85 lbs of LR with a deep sand bed. The catchbasin is accustomed for 7 years. Lighting; I accept actinic and Coralife trichromatic Fluorescents. Canister Filtration, Skimmer and RODI. Nitrates are usually beneath 15ppm, I don't accept issues with Ammonia or Nitrites of any affair else.
