Starting my new 90 gal FOWLR tank and I am buying my live rock from someone with an established tank through craigslist. Some of the rock has some small corals and mushrooms. My question is what kind of lighting do I need? I have a single 48" bulb on top nothing fancy. Can I get away with some kind of a single bulb to keep this stuff living? Any help is appreciated.

You`ll definitely need to upgrade your lighting. It will not handle corals. I`m pretty sure you are talking just Normal output flourecent lighting. You`ll need something like at least VHO, t5HO`s or MH`s. Moving this to the General Hardware and equipment discussion forum.

the fixture determines the wattage. a single bulb isnt going to suffice anyways, you'll probably need a 6 or 8 bulb fixture if youre looking at T5HO or VHO
