I did a search for this question and I think I saw every post OTHER than my question lol! My pet store is trying to sell me a 250 watt Coral Life 4 foot lighting unit. The owner says it is all i will ever need as far as lighting is concerned. Is 250 watts enough to keep most corals alive and happy? I know some of you rich saltwater fanatics may have like a 900watt setup or something along those lines, but I am asking for a "general setup". I am just trying to get a basic idea of what the term " Moderate to High Lighting needs" means. I see it a lot in coral profiles, but i have no idea what wattage that usually means. I hope this becomes a popular topic, us noobies will have a goal to shoot for and an idea what a decent lighting setup entails. Thanks!
