70w MH for LPS

[thecichlidpleco]

I will be getting a sunpod 70w and buying an ew bulb either xm or ushio 14 or 20k, and will be using it on a 10 gallon. I want to do sps frags, but wont lps frags, even on the bottom, get really bleached out?

I use a 20k 70w Viper on a 12G nano cube, and it is really not that bright at all. Even my yumas are doing fine in it.

I used a 70watt mh on my old 7 gallon nano, and agree that it wasnt that bright, LPS did fine, as did shrooms, rics, yumas and zoos, but some of the more light demanding SPS browned, until I later moved them to a system with 400 watters.

So I should actually be okay with using it as an acan growout and frag tank?
