You might wanna invest in some better bulbs but otherwise you can keep alot of corals. here is a link to my last video http://youtu.be/xM6mUkN2814 Enjoy!

Jan 27, 2012 #8 OP OP A armenkk1 Aquarium Advice Freak Joined Dec 31, 2011 Messages 229 Location Montana thanks both of u! what are some in-expensive corals that don't need much lighting?
