Current USA 48" PC/Lunar for 55 gal- Is it enough?

[matthewmc]

I have the Current USA Orbit 48" light kit. It is a 4x65w with 2 dual daylight and 2 anitic. Is this enough light to keep SPS corals?
Thanks, Matt

I would say not, although you could probably keep some monti caps, and digis, I would not try any of the higher light acros and such.

Could I get away with adding 1 MH or should I just go ahead and get another fixture?

If your interested in SPS I would look into getting either a 2x150w DE or 2x175w SE MH fixture. If your not interested in running actinics there are better options with the DE bulbs. The Phoenix 14K's look real nice with out actinics and have good PAR.

How about the aqualight pro?

I am trying to get away with spending around $400 but does not look like I am going to be able to do it. Does anyone know of anyway of getting an MH fixture with flourescents for around $400. I would really appreciate any help. Thanks Matt
