I have a 54 gallon corner tank that has been cycling for the last two weeks. Lighting on this tank is very diffucult to accomplish, the style of the tank alone is wierd. However my last tank was a 20 G normal, and I had a dual bulb 24 inch orbiter satelite,130 watts.
My corals were doing great,(green star polyps, toadstool leather, assorted zoos, blue mushrooms) but the ratio of gallon per watt for my 20 is unbelievably higher than the ratio of light to my 54. I would really rather keep this light and get the sunpaq quad 18 inch 96 watt fixture. However i feel it is not necessary. if i have to I will buy it but if I dont that would be great. My friend is having great results with low watt per gallon ratio, but i dont want to put my corals at risk.
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
-Thanksfor everything Reef Central.
