What other kind of light can I use for corals besides metal halide

 

[reefrunner69]

HO, VHO, LED, power compact flo..

All those can allow you to keep coral, but not necessarily any coral.

If I remember correctly, Byzantine is keeping LPS...and SPS? Either way, besides MH it is either T5HO or LEDs. And we all know which answer I lean towards at this point.

Any recommendation?

 

[Sniperhank]

I always recommend LEDs.

 

[tonedogz]

LED's for sure

I have mh at the moment, when it's time to replace the bulb, I am seriously considering LED. I've done VHO and you are limited in what you can keep.

What's the brand type and I need 48 inch

They are taotronics LEDs. You'd need 2 for a span of 48 inches.

I have never heard of this brand do u know much about it and could this light do corals

 

[Sniperhank]

They are the knock off version of some other brand, basically. They will support anything your heart will desire. I'd suggest getting the dimmable ones, they pack a punch.
