Corals w/ 150w Sunpod

[pharaoh2387]

I am considering upgrading the lighting on my 29g biocube to a 150w 14,000k Sunpod (20"). Just wondering if I got this what options as far as corals this would leave me open to. Would this lighting support just about anything or would I need to upgrade further to do that? Also, would corals require supplemental actinics with this light or is this fine on it's own?
Thanks!

You should pretty much be able to do any corals with that light.
I would run some actinics on the light, however, as you do not want to run the halides for all day.

you will be fine with that fixture..it is a good light source for the 29...how deep is the tank??? just curious cuz with the 150 you will keep whatever you wish

u will be able to keep everything. but the side of the tank might get less light coverage.

I run a 150 watt sunpod and a 36 watt actinic T5 fixture for color. I love this setup and keep SPS, clams, LPS, zoas, etc. FYI i have a biocube 29
