Lighting Question

[dandan1120]

I am setting up a 45 gal tank and am wondering if these lights will be sufficient. Im really wondering what will i be able to keep with this light. I have a 65 gal FOWLR and am some what expirenced with that but not with corals. They have a lighting chart on this link but it does not mention this light.
thanks

This light will be fine for most all softies, LPS and some SPS as long as they are kept high in the tank.

Foster And Smith have the same light on sale...

They will do just fine...We are running the Nova Extreme 8x54 in our bowed 72....We keep LPS, softies, and sps. Everything is thriving.... You may want to change the bulbs at sometime in the future....I am running URI super actinics, and their new 75/25s, four of each....

I have the same exact fixture and just put in four URI bulbs, two super actinic and two actinic white, All corals seem to love the new bulbs and lighting. People may not agree, but i even have a clam under these lights, although higher up in the tank.

So you like those URI bulbs? I think those are the ones I am going to switch to pretty soon.
