No, generally
sps is the most light demanding coral. So if your good for
sps generally your good for anything else also.
Sps requires the highest light intensity, the best water quality, and they are more finicky about water flow.
If its good enough for
sps it's good enough for anything else. But of course this is all generalities there are easier
sps coral and hard
lps and soft corals.
I'm saying you can more than likely grow whatever you want under that Kessil. Just so long as you put it under the light due to the odd tank shape. 2 of those would cover the whole tank and you could place any of the most light demanding corals anywhere in the tank you want, but one is fine I wouldnt buy two I would just place any
sps/clams under the light.
Sps/clams - require the most light for example 100w + of
led , 250w +metal halide , 6 - 8 bulbs of t5ho(in a shallow aquarium)
Lps- ( anemones would fall in this area of lighting) require moderate lighting : example : around 4 bulb t5ho, or 175w metal halide, or 60+ w of
led.
Soft corals like mushrooms and zoas - require less lighting than
lps and
sps, but I wouldn't say low lighting. Examples: 2-4 bulbs of t5ho, or 40+ watts of
led, or a 65w power compact.
LED enough for LPS?
Am wanting to do some LPS coral. Do I need to add another kessil or is this enough light? Was thinking maybe a sky blue one.
