How much light do I need for my tank???

[chort55]

I have a 15g Tall setup, that will consist of all zoa's/ paly's and one hammer. I have a 250w mh that would fit over it, but thats a bit extreme for what I want to have in the tank isn't it??

I know z's and p's are lower light corals so could I just run some NO t-8's??

I think the 250w halide would cook that size tank. Your best bet would probably be a small T5 setup. You could run 4x24w or something along those lines.
