Corals with Fluorescent Lighting?

[JR8999]

Running FOWLR for 8 months now and want to convert to reef eventually. Only have fluorescent lighting right now. I know I have to upgrade but are there any corals I can get before lighting upgrade? I'm thinking no but wanted to check anyway.
Thanks!!!

It depends on what type of fluorescent lighting. What is your light fixture? We're looking specifically for bulb type and wattage.

I wouldn't with that light. It just isn't enough to keep anything happy. MAYBE a mushroom or something like a kenya tree, but IMHO, even that would be asking a lot.

Yeah understood. Thanks for the input. Now I have to research lighting which is overwhelming.
