research research research. look up lighting needed and see if you have it.

 

[ngongotaha]

Have you got any good sites that i can look at????

 

[renogaw]

here's a good one. there's tons of posts on lighting. unfortunately i don't know what lighting is required, but metal halides or t5's always come up when people talk about corals.

the bubble and leather corals you do not need halides but i would check on the brain. i belive you need the halides for them. good luck and nice friend.

yeah the brain says strong lighting. ask ophie.... she will know.

Hey again, What is the name of that site with the
lighting conversations?? I am very nervous about
getting these corals so please give me all the
help you can give. I live in Australia so the product
may be different over here.
thanks again

for those corals.. unless you have a really deep tank i am thinking 4w per gallon will work..
I have to say.. i am not sure what a golfball coral is tho.

look in the equipment forum on this website for the debates on lighting.
