what can i reasonably expect to keep in a 29gal 45#lr,with 65w power compacts?

Fish only. 2 watts per gallon is very low even for soft corals.

Do you mean 65 total watts or 2 65 watt bulbs? Most of the PC sets I've looked at have 1 10k and actinic for a total of 120 watts. That's what I am planning on getting for my 29gal. From what I've been reading it should be ok for softies, I THINK.

I agree if you indeed have 2 65W bulbs you can keep softies.
I just took it as one 65W.

i hope it;s 2 65's the base has 4 holes in it,thanx all

Each bulb has four pins so if it has four holes I am going to imagine its only one bulb.
