i'm thinking of bringing over my 36" pc fixture when i upgrade to a 75 fowlr in the near future as well. i believe the light is sufficient for this style of tank. the only life forms that use it are coraline algae and the plants, right?

Hey Josh. I dont think you have to do a fish only tank. I started my reef with the exact light you have...just the 24" model. Peeps here said it was a crappy light and I should upgrade it but have a look for yourself. The first few months I ran the tank with 1 fixture only. http://www.canreef.com/vbulletin/sho...fishytimes+20g

Yea, but you had 96Watts on a 20G.. I have 78 on a 75G.. Slight difference in amount of light per gallon.. lol

Like I said I ran the tank with only 48w ( 1 fixture) for a few months. You could probably do stuff like zoas and mushrooms if you placed them up higher in the tank. Just dont glue them in, so that when you upgrade your lighting you can move them down.
