    My 29 gallon reef is over stocked,and i'm moving some stuff to a 15 to split it up and lessen my bio load.My 15 gallon only has 2 18" powerglo flouresents(i cut 2 hoods so 2 lights would fit)at 38 watts total, 50/50 on each bulb(and there new bulbs).All i'm putting in is a couple of my smaller fish,a few of my cuc,and some low to med light corals,for example-mostly mushrooms,some gsp,might try a frag of anthelia.I was wondering if this is enough light for zoas and palys?It comes out to 2.5 watts per gallon(i know wattage doest mean everything)but is this enough intensity?:confused:
