That is plenty of light for a BTA. I will let someone esle answer on the SPS. I do believe yyou need MH for that.
 
Well, I heard that you need MH for a few clams, but my tank could hold most of them. Its not true that you have to have MH for sps, because garf uses VHO lighting for some of their coral, and yes clownin', Ill try and get updated pics. Once the capnella grows, it will make alot of babies! I have atleast 10 babies in my tank lol! They are growing like crazy!!! 8O
 
Does the Watts per gal calculation incluse the Actic 03 wattage?
I have (2) 96W PC Actinic 03 and (2) 250W 10,000K MH on a 90 gal tank
Does this equal 7.8 or 5.5 Watts per gal?

TIA
 
Ya, they both count. You would be on the higher end :wink: . Atleast that's how my VHO's were sold and thats what I have been basing it on.
 
Thanks Clown,
Wasn't sure since corals can't survive on Actinic alone, did't know if they absorb the 03 light at the same rate. Just wondering if it's a 1 to 1 ratio like the other lighting. Maybe it's like 1/2 Watt to every (1) that counts in the equasion. Dunno :?
