Hey everyone,

I am new to the hobby and read alot of different opinion's on how much lighting you need in a SW tank. I have a 90 Gallon reef ready tank. I bought the Nova Extreme [216 watts] t5 lighting, which came out to 2.4 watts per gallon. I added another twin t5 light [108 watts ] for a total of 324 watts. divided by 90 gallons came out to 3.6 watts per gallon.

QUESTION: What will I be able to put in the tank under this amount of lighting??

Thanks for all the help!!!

I think you you will be able to keep the typical softies (mushrooms, zoanthids, leathers) as well as LPS (Frogspawns, Torches) and maybe some montipora if you keep it high enough.
