i have a 75 gal tank and trying to use compact flurocent light strip. i am going to keep soft coral and LPS. is 3.5 watt per gallon enough? which is 4X65 watt for 75 gal tank.
I have the same lighting on a 55 gal. I always wonder about the wpg rating since our tanks are the same length but yours is about 5” wider and 1” taller but of course my wpg rating is 4.7 wpg. I think if you stick with low to medium light corals you still will be fine.
You will be able to keep a nice variety of soft and LPS corals with this lighiting. Leathers, zoos, mushrooms, trumpets, torch coral, hammer coral, green star polysp, yellow polyps and xenia are all good choices providing water parameters are okay.
well.. this tank will be the coral propagation tank which set up with egg crate. can i use the same lighting that i mention earlier and sit the SPS at the very top egg crate?
