Default Hard corals and low light.

Bye the way what are some of the better hard corals that will grow well in about 4-5 watts per gal.

That's a whole other thread, George!

(Try the "Reef" forum, over yonder...)

I think what Bob is looking for would do OK though.
Maybe...

George it is impossible nowadays to safely use that watts per gallon measurement. That measurement was intended for NO fluorescent tubes. PC's put out at least twice the light of NO fluorescents, and MH is even higher.

Default watts per gal.

Your right Bob. I'll mention what size my tank is and how many watts from now on.

I appreciate your offer Jonny. The only problem is having to pack a lunch to get to your place I don't know if digitata is a good test. The one I have in there is growing fast, and I will be doubling the light in the tank in a week or so. Having said that, I think some acro would do well. So please guys, there has to be a bit of acro I can buy After this weekend's zoo sale I can afford some.

The Zoo looks great in my Tank Bob, Thanks.. I stopped at Big Al's after I left your place and everything that came in was still climatizing so did not get any cowries, but I did pick up some Yellow Polups (sp) which also has a different kind on it as well.. got a 2 for 1 deal, plus there was a hidden snail on there as well so I for a 3fer + 15% off was only $22

Better do a search on the snail, as you may not want it. There is a snail that is predatory on zoanthids. I found a couple once in the same zoos you got from me. I got rid of them quickly.

Thanks for the offer. I have picked up some Hynophora, staghorn, and digitata from Tony. I am just playing with lighting, so it should be enough.
