my PC's and corals

I have 4-65w PC's...2 blues, 2 whites....right now i have many zoos, mushrooms, leathers, zenia, gsp's, ect...many soft corals...i also have a candycane coral placed high im my tank thats doing well...

i want to try to venture into other realms if possible with my lighting....is it possible, or do i have to stick around in the coral category im already in?

 

you could get a frogspawn, hammer or torch

 

Their is a plethora of corals available to you to house in your tank. Placement within your tank can also be of equal importance to the success and ability to maintain those more difficult small polyp stony corals.
Montipora, Millipora, Pocillipora, Porites, Pavona, Euphyllia species, Plerogyra(bubble), Nemenzophyllia(fox), Favites, Favia and other open brain corals. This is just a small list of those corals available to you that should do fine in your tank! Remember that lighting is just a small part of the equasion to having and maintaining corals successfully in a marine aquarium!
One other side note, the species of coral such as zoanthid and Montipora that will do fine in your tank may be different(color and shape wise) in a picture or other aquarium due to bulb kelvin and light intensity and other water parameter issues!
Read up and take a look at the wonderful assortment of corals, sponges and gorgonians that are available to you at your local pet shops and online!
good luck...

 

Like stated above, you can do a ton of corals...... Here's a pic of my tank.. I have 72 watts of pc's over 5.5 gallons... Just read up on watt light needs are for different corals..260 watts over 55 gallons isn't a over abundance of light for alot of corals..

 

Here is a pic of my 90g under 350W of PCs. Baugherb is right about your intensity not being a lot. I have even less. But I have still have been able to house many corals.

 

thanks for the feedback...i looked into those corals you named CR and im very excited now...the only two im still concerned about after reading are the millipora and porites...

when you research online they simply put corals into one of four lighting categories...low, medium, medium to intense, and intense...

im just wondering with my 4-65 watt PCs what category do i fall into? or should i not really base alot off of these recommendations?

 

is that a sea apple in the picture john?

 

I would think low??? But I could be wrong...

 

I have had Acropora Millipora under PC lighting with success. Like I said, there are other factors that must be addressed when selecting a coral! The lighting requirements are mean't to be a guideline and not an etched in stone difinitive list.
