think i got some bad advice

[worshrag]

i was told i could run 2 24'' ho bulbs in my tank and keep sps without problems. is this true?

 

[sign guy]

what size is your tank?

i think you got some bad advise too...i dont think that that light will be intense enough for SPS...

Should be OK for Brown and Purple Montipora if you keep them near the top. Definately not OK for all types of SPS.

However 4 HO t5's IMO would change things.

Digitata or Capricornis?

like what perfect dark said, if these so called HO's are T-5 bulbs and are individually reflected, then yes you can keep a lot of corals quite happily. 4 bulbs would be better than 2 tho.
