I have a 55 gallon aquarium with:
50 lbs. of live sand
25 lbs. of fiji live rock
A 4" Yellow Tang
A 2" Gold and Brown Damsel
A 3" Lawnmower Blenny
A 3" Tomato Clown
An Arrow Crab
Some Turbo Snails
Question is I have a Regular fluorescent bulb just for my fish. Could I raise either coral off just that? If not whats the lowest degrees I could have and not spend too much money. Which do you think is more hardy and beautiful?
Also I plan to get a Royal Gramma, False Percula Clown, and a Coral Beauty Angel.
All imput is welcome and thanks for just reading if you don't post

you could try shrooms but, they might survive as they are pretty hardy, but they may die.
I would perdonally try a small frag of them maybe 2-3 shrooms and see how they do.
trumpet corals sre light dependent and would die.

Mushrooms might do ok, but I wouldn't try the trumpets. You can find 48" 260 watt PC fixtures for around $100 shipped. If you were to get that you'd be able to keep soft corals and some LPS corals. Depends on what you want in your tank.
