Zoo Med Bulb

[moray345]

Hey everybody i went to ***** today and saw this Zoo Med bulb will it work with corals it says it can but better to ask somebody than have expensive corals die here is the description
"High intensity actinic lamp with strong emissions in the short wavelength region of the spectrum, peaking at 420 nm.
Ideal for all marine aquariums, reef tanks, and African cichlids.
Long Lasting: effective for up to 10,000 hours.
Promotes the growth of zooxanthellae algae, essential for the growth and well-being of all photosynthetic corals and invertebrates.
Simulates the short wavelength blue light which penetrates to reef depth in nature.
Output closely matches the absorption peak of blue chlorophyll used in photosynthesis."
Thanks,

Sounds like the description for a Marine-Glo or a Power-Glo. Is it a normal output flourescent? What is the wattage?

sounds liek the ocean sun, it's most likely a NO bulb, but no, iw ouldn't use it, if you want softies then some PC will suffice, VHO would be great too, LPS, i'd sway with a lot of PC or some VHO, SPS and Clams, i would def say MH, the NO is best left on the shelf
