it is a 24' saltwater and freshwater made by all glass aquarium, on the back of the ficture it says 19 watts is this enough for coral? and it is flourescent(spelling?) and in the manual it said of for marine/corals that need high light, but sometimes you cant believe that stuff

I don't think that you have enough light for corals. Although some corals out there made do well in low light, most require strong lighting. It has been suggested by many that to maintain corals it is recommended that that you have about 3 - 5 watts per gallon of lighting. Also with the different types available, standard flourescents, VHO, PC & MH, so choose wisely, based on the types of corals you plan to keep. HTH
