Lighting Question for my 75gal

[eskimo44]

I just purchased a 4x65w PC system 270 watts total. I am putting this on my 75 which will give me 3.466 watts per gal, but from what i heard, that doesn't matter. I am wondering if i can put all types of soft coral, and what kind of aneomes can i have? I was also thinking of a Dersera clam. Any suggestions/Concerns?

How many inches high is your 75 gallon tank? The depth that the light has to penetrate to reach the bottom is what really matters. I'm thinking a 75 is the same height as a 55, but I could be wrong.

I think it's the same as a 55, but the 75 is just wider

Well it is 260 watts not 270 lol mistype. And you might be able to keep some polyps or zoos or mabey some mushrooms but I dont think Soft corals or LPS would come into play.
And yes a 75 gallon is around 21 to 24 inches there 18 inches from front to back as were a 55 is around 12 inches from front to back There bolth 48inches long.
