Default Lights

Hey man . . your lighting is a little on the low side . . well u can certainly keep some corals but check my tank specs . .

I have a 27 gal. (long) maybe 12-13 inches deep
My lights are coralife 2 - 96 watt (192 watts total output) power compact making it a 7.2 watts per gallon (recommended lighting for reef tank is 3-5 watts per gallon)

Even though my lights are fairly bright I still need halides to keep clams and acroporas in order for them to keep its colors. . .

But if your low on cash . . . it'll do for now as halides are quite costly!
