    I was just wondering if you could get away with using stock lighting in a FOWLR setup?

    Could you eventually upgrade lights and be able to put certain corals in?

    Thanks for the help.

    Fish don't need any special lighting so the stock lighting is fine.

    You can always upgrade your lighting.

    Cleaner shrimp and snails don't need light. Will be ok with stock lighting, rock will be fine too.

    you'll be good with everything but light demanding corals. you could even get some gorgonians, feather dusters, sponges.
