Light question.

[ric maniac]

I was wondering what I could keep as far as sps goes. I have 76w of pc lighting in a 19" deep tank. Thanks.
P.S I was looking at porites, are they easy?

not very strong light at all. if u must, i'd say monti cap or monti digit at the top of the tank. u might not get the coloration u desired tho.

I would say low light corals at best. 76w on a 19" deep tank isn't a whole lot of light.

I agree with the others. You will have way less problems with low light coral and will enjoy lot more.
less problem=more fun and less spend

Thanks

, I will try a porites and a monti cap. Supposedly porites can be in very low lighting

please correct me if i'm wrong.

just maintain proper flow, calcium and alk. like i said b4, color wont look as good.

i would say dont even try any SPS with that much light. they MIGHT survive way up near the top but will just turn S*it brown anyway.
Stick with Softies,zoo's, and you can probably do LPS if you keep them a little higher up and feed them.
