I have been trying to get a staight answer myself.
I have a 48" satillite for my 60g, and I want to get 2 - 30" satillites for a 90g long.
My Porc puffer seems a little sensitive (but he has been sick).
LFS saya it makes a difference how deep (or tall) your tank is.
I found good info at another site. Gina's Aquarium supply or something.
It says our lights are good for LR and some corals, but only in certain size tanks.
Good luck.

Leathers and zoos are pretty easy. You should get your tank exstablished before you add corals. I would say no sooner than 6 months.

Yeah...I think you told me that a few weeks ago. Someone else had told me that you could start adding zoos & mushroom polyps right away. So I was confused. Not to mention I see these people showing pics of their tanks at like 3 months and they all sorts of stuff in there. Are they jumping the gun?

I think they are because you want your corals to grow and thrive in a perfect environment. A tank that is only 3 months old may dump and re-cycle because it is so unstable. I'm not saying it is impossible, just not advised.

ok..got it
Now I'm not trying to fight the issue here...I would much rather take my time & do everything the right away. Just trying to get an understanding of all of this. But from what I understand, I thought that zoos & shrooms are supposed to have negligible impact on your bio-load. Is that wrong?

They can if your water conditions aren't perfect. You may loose a coral and not know it till it is too late and then you will start an ammonia spike and everything will die. In a more mature tank, you can have a little more "leeway" and be able to recover instead of crashing.
