I'm setting up a 100g tank, dimensions 18" by 5' by 25" tall.
I have two 96W CF lights over the tank... staggered for even lighting. I used 10,000K and 6500K lamps.
It's a FOWLR but I would like to add a couple softies... I could add 2 100W HO lamps as wella s the 96W bulbs but would like to know if it's worth the effort. For softies, it would be mushrooms, zoas, pulsing zenia... maybe one or two other easy low light corals.
My only reason for hesitating on the extra lights is that I'd have to order a lost wiring harness for that kit. If none of that effort is needed for a few softies, then I'd rather skip it.
The fish that will be in this tank is a pair of clowns, a tang and 3 chromis... that's it. I'm more interested in invertabrates than fish or corals so there will be crabs, shrimp, nudibranchs, etc. and that's where my addiction will be... adding inverts to this thing so don't worry about me one day adding a higher light coral... won't happen.
Thanks!
