I have 2x96w 10,000k, 65w 50/50 actinics/10,000k, 1x30w actinic, 1x30w 10,000k.
My tank is 20" tall is this suficient to grow LPS and SPS?

hang on i got kinda confused...

You've got 2x96, and they're both 10K daylight (your majority of the daylight i take it???)

Then you've got a single 65w bulb that is 50/50...

then a single 30w bulb (i'm guessing Normal output fluorescent since there's no 30w PC bulb) that is just actinic

And then another 30w bulb that is the same as the one before, except its 10K daylight??

And i'm guessing thats all for your 100, unless you havent updated your sig lately....

But no, that will not be enough for much in a 20" tall 100g tank. Probably softies only, maybe some lps up around halfway up, but i wouldnt try sps. PC's really arent that strong, and 20" is a lot for them to go through. You could do pretty much any softy up higher or mid level, and you could do shrooms down lower...maybe some ricordias lower too.

I am sorry this is what I have:

1x96w 10,000k
1x96w actinic
1x65w 10,000k
1x65w actinik
1x30w 10,000k T8 (may change for 20,000k?)
1x30w actinik T8

My display tank is 75 gal and the sump 25. I have to up date this.

ya, you should be able to get some soft corals pretty much throughout the tank, and maybe some LPS up higher...no sps though
