Aquarium Light question!

[SleepyPirate]

Yea im defidently looking to grow corals and such i only want mabey 6 fish

2 clowns
1 blue tang
1 lawnmore

and mabey a few others i run into, but mainly corals if I can, my currentl flouresent light seems to be keeping what corals I have alive but there is absolutly no growth. Im thinking a metal halide light but it confuses the hell outta me sometimes I see some for $1200 then others like that link above for $300 and i really have a hard time seeing the diffrences.

There is more to corals than lighting. a stable tank is more important than blasting the most amount of light that you can possibly muster.

What types of coral are you planning on keeping?

I really want more LPS then SPS but id like to have a few SPS in my tank, so far my tank levels have been spot on with only the problem of Salinity which was due to water evaporation which I stoped by buying an RO unit now i do frequent changes and top ups which stopped that. I do however have small temperature varients mostly as its just to hot, my heater is pretty much on the LOWEST setting at all times and its a tiny heater mabey 30w (buying a good one as soon as I get a new light) I think im ok for another month or so. So far the temps stayed in the "green" zone so I dont think a chiller is required... yet.
