 Light question I have a 65 gallon tank and I want to start doing LPS and SPS corals. I have 2 96 watts power compact and a 150 watts metal halide double ended fixture. Will this be enough light for the corals and do I need to have more light. Thanks Endy  |

| yes but what Iam planning on doing is to put the MH fixture on one side of the tank so the brace wont affect the light and on that side of the tank I will keep all my LPS and SPS and then keep my soft corals on the other side...Thanks |

| Very smart idea! 150Watt will be okay, I would look into 250watt if you want to keep light hungry SPS |
