I just recently upgraded the lighting on my 55g reef.
HAD:
2 96w smartlights
1 65w blue actinic
NOW HAVE
2 175w MH @ 55k
1 96w smartlight
1 65 blue actinic
The wierd thing is that the tank looks like it has less light now than it did with half the lighting. Is this ok? I want to get some small clams and some other light needy corals.
I keep seeing that certain corals need "intense" light. What exactly is "intense". The lighting that I have now is almost 10 watts per gallon. That to me is intense.
Your help and input is much appreciated.
