Advice on Soft Corals

When I bought my light I was told that however it isn't suitable for a reef tank with hard corals, that it is sufficient enough for soft corals. SO i was wondering if I could get some advice on Soft Corals, and maybe some pictures! Thank you guys

 

What light? What do you have for flow?

 

It's a 24" 50/50 actnic (i think i read on the box 6500w)
ZooMed T8 Lamp, 24 inches Reef Sun 50/50 (Actinic & Daylight: Premium Aquatics (but I paid more than 13.99, damn)

I have 2 powerheads that I used in my FW that I converted. The flow seems pretty strong.

Also, I was just in Reno/Sparks the other day, how funny! ( I saw your location is why I said that)

 

To be honest i would not try to keep any corals in that tank under that light. I would try and up grade to a t5ho fixture, you can find them pretty cheap online now!

 

Thank you for your advice. Can you post a link as to what you would recommend that I purchase?

 

Yeah I second OP. Thats just a regular hood bulb more suited for lighting a freshwater tank.
What is the length of your tank? And your future goals coral wise?

 

36" wide 12" deep, and 24" tall

I just want simple, but more than just LR. Maybe an Anemone, or two?

 

Look up the nova extremes they are cheap, made good and get the job done. I run a sundial over my 29 gallon tank and love it

 

Found one for $105.50 is that a good price? Is it safe to wait 6 more days until the 1st of the month when I get paid?

Is my light sufficient enough to add a couple fish, for the time being?

 

It doesnt matter for fish, the light doesnt affect them, what unit did you find? And yes as long as theres no corals its fine to wait.
