jay Guest Posts: n/a	Re: coral lighting question The tank is 36 long X 16 high X 13 wide. I already have a 2X55 watt PC with 10K bulbs. From what I have read doubling this would be sufficent for those type corals. But I should be able to do the metal halide for about the same cost as another 2X55 watt set, more or less. Is it over kill? Would it cause a problem to have it? I would also like a Tridacna clam. Will PC be sucficent for it as well? And one more question on the coral. I notice there is calcium reactor on the tank. Is this needed for these type corals?
