Mushrooms

[beanpole12]

I've had a 55g fowlr for about a year now and I plan on upgrading to a reef. I don't plan on doing a lot of corals but would like to know what type of lighting would be best for mushroom corals. i would like to keep several diff types of mushrooms. Any help is greatly appreciated I get so confused with all the diff types of lighting setups.

PC, VHO and depending on how much, NO lighting will be sufficient over a mushroom tank.

I had been considering pc, any reccommendations as to wattage? Would any other corals or anemones be ok under pc?

55 gallons, I's go to the LFS and see the one with the most wattage that'll fit that tank.... the minium i would say is about 250 but i'd defently say try and break 300 expetialy if you getting an anemone, I got one and it died, so i got a new light that was 50 watss stronger, still died but last about 2 months longer......The problem was still lighting

Zoanthids, mushrooms green star polyps, colt corals will all do well under PC lighting. How much PC? As much as you can fit over your tank or afford. Whichever comes first.
