Corals For 96w Pc???

[purple lobster]

I have a 46gal tank with a coralife 96w dual daylight pc lamp. Can I put any type of corals with this lighting without buying a new system? I am new to this so I would appreciate any suggestions.

you could get sun corals, which are very nice looking probably other low light soft corals.

youll be alright with shrooms, zoas, leathers, xenia, star polyps. stuff like that.

Is it better for me to get a 50/50 bulb instead of the dual daylight? or any others?

it will mainly just change the color. the 50/50 is actinic will give more of a blue look. the daylight you have now is probably a 10k which is more of a yellow/white look.

is it just one bulb?

Its a dual (2 tubes connected) with a 4 square pin configuration. i think thats considered 1 bulb? I thought the actinic or 50/50 will be better for the corals?

yea, its considered 1 bulb.
the 20k will only bring out the colors in the corals. wont make them grow any better.
