Lighting for frag tank

[megadon]

I have about 200lbs of LR, some base rock in a tank in my basement. I would like to try to grow zoo's Ricordea, and some shrooms on it. It's a 75 gallon tank. I was thinking of using 4 or 6 bulbs of VHO for 660 watts of light. Would that be wasted (overkill) of more light = more growth? Any other hints or words of advise would e appreciated to start this project.

I agree.. sounds good.. Any more lighting and you'll be chasing temp and water loss and not really anything more beneficial for the ric..

Any hints about the propagation of those corals? Zoo's need light, Ricordea need flow. etc....?

Yea thats how i get my zoo's to split. I bought an 802 PH that i use just for pushing directly at a zoo. Also seems to work on most of my leathers as well.
They seem to thrive on the high current.
