Do I Have Proper Lighting - Aquarium Advice

JMB · 04-30-2004, 09:16 AM

I have a 65 gallon tank with fish and a lot of live rock. The lighing that came with the tank is 96 watts described as follows: 50/50 Fluorescent Lamp The Coralife 50/50 lamps are a mixture of 50% 6000 Kelvin natural daylight and 50% Kelvin Actinic [acronym:80f8f7fd50="Actinic lighting"]03[/acronym:80f8f7fd50] blue.

Is this good lighting for fish and [acronym:80f8f7fd50="Live rock"]LR[/acronym:80f8f7fd50]?

I think your good to go if your not keeping any delicate corals.

Yep. Your good for rock and fish. The rock wont be able to support coral life but should have some coraline growth.
