I'm trying to pick out some coral and i wanted to know what exactly is medium lighting. All the merchants don't exactly match up on light requirement, and they don't tell you what they mean. i have CF lighting 96 w per bulb, which is 192/45 gal = 4.26 per gal. I'm guessing this is probably medium lighting. I am looking to add about three different species. 1-2 up high, and 1-2 middle or bottom.
 
That would be medium to low depending on the placement in the tank (high to low) and relation to the light source (ie: rock shadows).
 
I have 440w VHO over my 75G which is maybe a watt more / gal then what you stated. 4w /g is zoo, shrooms, leather coral range. You can look at my gallery to see what I grow with my VHO's. Prolly pretty similar to what you can get away with considering your current lighting. In any case, I would start with some zoos and shrooms and then maybe some real ez starter coral..leathers are real hardy for the most part.

GL!
