lighting question

[goonter]

I have a 38 gal. tank... here is the lighting I have for it. A dual satellite compact fluorescent fixture with Dual Daylight 6,700°K/10,000°K and Dual Actinic 420 nanometer and 460 nanometer bulbs that are 96 watts each.
Is that enough light to keep just about any coral I want or are there some types that would need more light?

From what I know with PCs you are usually limited to LPS and softies I believe. You need T5s or metal halides for the SPS. I had PCs and also keept a clam, mushrooms, zoas, frogspawns, and G. Finger Leather, I had a normal 55 with 4x65 watt PCs. You may want others to chime in cause I wouldn't consider myself an expert.

so if I had 192 watts with a compact fluorescent that would not be the same as if I had 192 watts with a metal halide? Did I wast my money on compact fluorecent lights? That would really suck....
