low-light corals

[tonybologna000]

Are there any corals that require so little light that I could put them in my 75 gal tank (20" deep) which has only 80 watts of lighting? I understand the need for excellent water quality and appropriate water flow.

Thanks a lot!

What type of lighting? I'm gonna assume you're just talking about a regular strip light, and if so, no. At the VERY most, you'd get mushrooms to grow if you had them at the very top of the rock, but i seriously doubt anything else would grow at all.

Yeah, mushrooms would be about the only thing I'd try. And that's even pushing it. I'd upgrade the lights if you are getting serious about coral keeping.
