Lights

My aquarium is 30"x12.5"x19" and I want to start looking and pricing for lights needed for coral....

What type of lights will I need...

Will I need to replace my whole hood?

What types of corals do you want to keep? That will help determine what type of lighting you will need.

I want....

zoa's

maybe brain

colt coral

Ricordea

Frogspawn

clam maybe

I don't know if you can have all of those in one tank....but that's just the one's that I like

Everything but the clam can be kept under PC's. I have all but the clam and brain under a 2x65w PC fixture in my 37 gallon tank and they are doing great.

This is the fixture I am using.
