I want to start buying coral and I like what I see at your store. I have a 50/50 compact lighting 48". When you tale about light to medium lighting or med to high lighting what are the ranges? What am I looking for with the lighting I have?:rolleyes: :)

How many watts is your power compacts? Watts per gallon is a good measuring stick and although not the best guide to keeping coral it does give you a place to start. I currenly run appx. 200 watts (combination of PC and NO) of light and have had no trouble keeping "moderate/medium light" corals. Many people on this board might disagree because the corals aren't "thriving" and merely "surviving" but I have seen growth in every single one of my corals. They might not be splitting or growing at an uncontrollable rate but enough to keep me happy knowing I see progress. All depends on your point of view I guess. Good Luck.

how many watts is it though conk? 10000K is a temp color rating, and is a good choice, but how many watts is the bulb. it should say directly on the bulb itself, and is this the only bulb you have?
good luck
