LPS Under Power Compacts?

[Ranchhand02]

I have a JBJ Nano Cube 28 gallon tank with a 105 watt power compact light on it. I have the tank up and cycling now, but I should be ready to start stocking it soon. I am wondering if you think the 105 watt power compact light will be enough to keep some LPS corals? If so what would you recommend?

It will keep them alive, but colors are a different story... I wouldn't be expecting them to look awesome.

I used to have lps under 260watt PC in my old 90gal.

Best growth was shown on branching hammer, candycanes, and duncans. I also had favia and some softies.

I kept many corals under powercompacts, they look great and will grow under them.

Here is my softy/LPS tank back in the day, power compacts only.....

I remember when they were a major break through vs t8s. Affordable with low energy consumption. I've had great success growing softies and lps with compact fluorescents. Never tried sps back then.
