Lighting Questions

[Dt524]

Okay I have a stock fixture right now, and would like to know if I get a 65 watt light for my 29 gallon tank would that be enough for some soft corals like polyps and mushrooms. If not what can I keep in the tank; I only have a 3 striped damsel at the moment.

Thanx for the help

With a single PC bulb you can keep softies and polyps no problem. Upgrade to two PC bulbs if you want to keep LPS

Sweet all i really wanted are softies whats a LPS

 

[SkiFletch]

LPS stands for large polyped stony. Most LPS are moderate as far as requirements go. Common names include Torch, Frogspawn, Galaxea, Hammer, Bubble, Brain, Open Brain, Favites Brain. More difficult LPS include Blastomussa, Acanthestrea, Echinophylla, and the exceptionally difficult elegance coral.
