question about stock lights on 24g AP

[sjm1978]

hi i want to know if the stock lighting that comes on the 24g aquapod is good enough for corals like zoos/mushrooms/xenia/green brain/green star polyps. the reason i am asking this is because i would like to put my stock hood back on my aquapod tank. i went topless on it so i could run a coralife super skimmer but have since removed it. i also put a 130w pc light fixture. but i am just starting to get corals and i would really like to put the stock hood back on.

You should be fine. I have all the corals you mentioned under the stock lighting and it is all doing great.

thanks i went ahead and compaird the stock hood lighting to the odyssea 130w fixture i had on the tank and the stock hood puts out way more light i guess its the difference in the dual daylight and dual actinic bubls that the stock hood has it also probably has a better reflector than the odyssea fixture. so the stock hood is now back on the tank.
