Hi all.
Starting a 55g soon. Know its not the best of tanks but for varied reasons its the way I have to go.
A couple of weeks ago I got an Orbit marine 36-48" (model 4102) quite reasonably ($140) and just this week had the opportunity to grab a second one for $80, so I did.
The website gives me this info on these lights:
In researching softies and lighting requirements I'm unsure of what actually constitutes low, moderate, and high levels now that the rule of 1w/g is outdated.
I'm looking to keep zooanths with a couple of pulse and a couple of leathers (undecided on which ones yet). Do you guys think that two of these 36w LEDs would be sufficient in a 55g (20" deep) and, if so, what coral 'lighting level' would be appropriate under them?
My thanks in advance for any help.
