Hey all,
The plan for my 150 is to make it a low-light mixed coral/fish tank. As far as corals go, I was planning on keeping the following:
- Xenia - Top of the tank, closest to the lights and powerheads.
- Mushrooms - Middle of the tank
- Sun Coral - Bottom of the tank
I had planned out my lighting to just over 1 WPG. The reason behind this was to keep my electrical bill down and keep my tank low maintenance over all. As such, I ended up purchasing a 2X96 watt kit from AHSupply.
Now I just read the coral caresheet, and though I know it's not written in stone, it appears two out of the three inhabitants I want to keep require pretty intense lighting (Level 6-10). As far as my lighting goes, I'm thinking it's somewhere between Levels 0 and 3. If that's the case...did I just shoot myself in the foot? Should I get more lighting?
Thanks!
Mike
