    I built a DIY Canopy and have a ballast for T8 Lighting. Will 96W = 3Tubes of t8 work for a 55G Tank. with live rock fish one anemone and few small corals ?

    it would be great IME for rock, a few small fish and a number of corals

    but the Nem, depending on the species, may not find that lighting adequate

    but for Zoanthids, Shrooms, Yellow polyps, leather corals, colt corals, Toadstools
    3 x T8 tubes over a 55 should work fine IMO
