Coral lighting helP

[tenstars11]

Ok I have a 65 gallon high tank (36x18x24) and I am looking at a aquatic life 36" 6 bulb fixture with the Lunar lights. Will this be sufficient for most coral. I have had a nova extreme before and it did ok but coral did not thrive under it. I am open to suggestions and am looking at around 450-500 spending. Any advice is much appreciated

I just want to make sure I've got this right, it's 24" tall, yes?

Yes sir or mam lol. It's a tall tank that's what worries me. Has Koran angel butterfly clowns and some crabs/ Shrimp

It's iffy. With the correct bulb setup, and proper coral placement it should work. If it were me, I'd probably look into a Metal Halide fixture or if you're handy or know someone that is, you could do a DIY LED fixture.
A bigger issue is the Koran Angel, it's going to nip your corals and get way too big for that tank.

I have heard a lot of good things about the Apollo SolorBlast's LED fixture. One unit will cover your entire tank, you could keep anything under it and is under your price tag.
