lighting for corals

[serg11]

I've had my FOWLR for about 7 months. I want to get some corals (mushrooms). I bought my tank used with all the equip. Everything is great so far. Are these lights O.K. for corals. PL55W-AB actinic-blue and FPL-55W day light 10000k both are 4pin and about 20 inches long. I got a 29 gal 24x16x12deep tank. If not o.k. any advice on some inexpensive lighting and should my lights span all the way across the top. thanks

Those should be OK if you're only doing softies like mushrooms, kenya, xenia and leathers. If you want to go to LPS or SPS you are going to need more light.
