I am considering adding some new coral to my tank. Particularly Euphyllia (frogspawn or hammer), fungia (plate coral) and an open brain (trachyphyllia). A montipora digitata too.
I have read that all these corals tend to do well in lower light conditions, which is good since I have only a 96 W Coralife PC fixture.
However, I have an opportunity to buy a 150W Metal Halide fixture over the weekend. Should I do it? Will having much more light be bad for these corals? I'd hate to buy this fixture and then realize that I wasted the money.
Thanks for your help.
