Lighting

jesse_224 · 04-04-2006, 03:35 PM

I have been reading and reading about the different kinds and types of lighting for reef aquariums and im still pretty much lost. Most recently I have been thinking of getting one of the Coralife 96w quad retro kits. Would this be enough lighting to support some of the lower light corals in my 10 gal tank?

Yes, 96 watts of PC lighting on a 10 gal would be great.

Thank you Woodstock.....I think that is what I am going to do then.

I agree with woodstock... that's more than plenty for a 10G.
