NO lights for a softie reef?

[jamos5790]

If I just run 4 NO lights on my tank would that be enough to keep softies, thats all I really want to keep?
Also what combo should I use 2 atinics, 1 10k, 1 20k, or what?
Reason Im asking is I have a 75 gal that just got done cycling and got the lights for free, that is what I used ot help cycle it.

how much wattage is each bulb

what do you mean no lights?

 

[jamos5790]

40 watts per bulb, so 160 total.
no=normal output

Only one way to find out... I don't see a reason why they wouldn't do ok with those, just start out with a few and if you see them starting to go south, upgrading wouldn't be that costly, PC's would work fine for a softy only tank even supporting zoas and what not.. as long as you keep the same wattage.

Yeah in my 12 gal I have PCs and I have zoas in there for @1 month and they are spreading like crazy. I think Im gonna frag some of them and spread them through out the tank cause them and a green star polyp ar the only corals in that tank as of now, but no corals in the 75 yet.
