Are These Lights Sufficient?

[Puterguru]

For most corals? If not could someone tell me what they would be sufficient for?

I am assuming that this would be for either a 75 or a 55?

With those you are going to be limited to easier softies, ( and perhaps an LPS or two ) Thinking that mushrooms, polyps and the like would work.

For the money there are better options.

Yea, if you are wanting a cheap fixture like that just get the odyssea from aquatraders for 100bux. Its pretty much the same fixture. You'll be able to keep some softies and maybe a few lps like mentioned above.

Thanks guys, this light kit is coming with a 120 tank that I am buying. $675 for this light, 125 dual overflow tank, oak stand and canopy. Sump, UV sterilzer, heater, some kind of Pondmaster pump and miscellaneous stuff. The guy used it as a freshwater tank but I am going to set it up for saltwater.

Id like to read some more opinions on this light too

Is it really that bad?

I know I cant keep Hard corals with this. What Kinds of corals can I keep with it?

The depth of my tank is 25"

 

[Puterguru]

Here is the tank, not a bad deal for $675? No skimmer though.

125 G? Must have some odd dimensions...

Its a fish setup. It will work for fish, Maybe some EZ softies like lobophytum and shrooms but it'll be a struggle. You will want to remove the wet/dry, add skimmer, light, calcium...

It's 48 long 24 wide, 24 tall. I'm going to use it for primarily a FOWLR but may add some zoa's. ricordia, pulsing xenia.

 

[kevin gu3]

I'm guessing not enough light for the Xenia, and water quality would be a problem too. Not an expert though.

 

[Puterguru]

What do you mean, water quality would be a problem???

I would think with 260 watts of lights you could keep most soft corals. You could try some easier hard corals just keep them high up in the tank. JMO
