the right lighting?

[lineman1]

i have a 55g fowlr. right now i've got 80w of lighting. 1-40w 10000k and 1- 40w actinic blue. i've just purchased a pc unit w/ 2-65w 12000k daylights 2-65w actinic blues and 4-led moonlights. now for my question. I want to add some soft corals/zoos. wondering if this is enough lighting for them? also which is better, the pc lighting or mh lighting.

The Pc's would be fine for your Zoo's and shrooms.
The second question. Metal Halides are better for your corals growth and for light penatration. The pc's are good for what hey are and use less energy. I have a 65 that uses 2 150watt MH 14k bulbs and 18 led's for lunar lights.
