Lighting Question

[bbirch]

I was wondering if anyone knew the rule of how many watts per gal to keep hard corals? <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

that depends on the corals
all are different, some need alot some need minimal

I was thinking of keeping acropora or some plate corals

I'd think about no less then 250 MH and you'd probably have better luck with 400's.

fshhub is right... different corals require different lighting. General rule of thumb is a minimum of 3watts per gallon, but I'd say shoot for 5 as a minimum.
