I posted earlier about the compact lights that I bought with my tank. The store stated it was a 108Watt light. Upon looking at the light here is what I found.
There are 4 bulbs. The two on the left side are as follows:
1 Macro LH-18W/B
1 Phillips PL-L 18W/865/4p
On the right side:
1 Macro LB-36W/B
1 Phillips PL-L 36W/865/4P
One set of lights are blue (macro I believe) and the philips are the white lights.
I am assuming the W stands for watts in this instance, in which case the store would be correct with the 108 watts. This does not even seem like I have remotely enough lights to keep coral from what everyone is saying. I believe the rule of thumb was 3-4 watts per gallon in which case I am about 120Watts short. Thoughts??
