    what would you all consider to be 'medium lighting'?

    would be easier if they could just state the type of light :/

    thanks guys

    Medium light really depends on a lot of factors. Depth of tank and coral placement in that depth is how I would determine medium light.
    if you had a 24inch tall tank and put a coral on the sand, under PC lighting that would be very low light.
