quick acropora question?

[Kronnk7]

Will acro live in my tank if I have 330 watts of T-12 VHO. The tank is a 90 gallon and it's well established. I'm not sure and I know you guys won't let me down.

Generally speaking, it should do fine up toward the upper part of the tank.

Almost as important as light, is flow. Acro's need a good flow to respirate. If you are uncertain whether you have the conditions for Acros, get a small frag and try them out. Acro's grown under MH lamps may change color under your VHO, maybe a worse color, maybe better, who knows. They may survive but brown out. That is they may turn brown, the color of their underlying zoanthelae.
