    if you do... wat is it that you have..coral wise... i have a 24inch helios vho t6 iv pl 90 watt system over a 15 gallon tall nano and currently holding a frogspawn, xenia, mushroom and green star polyps. I wasnt sure what my lighting can do. I heard their lumens are only comparable to MH systems. I wanna expand my coral variety but scare my light system will not be enough.

    T6 is PC, well it CAN be.... All PC is T6 not all T6 is PC....
    Helios aren't the best of lamps, how do the corals look?
    How tall is the tank?

    all my corals looks pretty healthy wise...their open and waving around. I even place the xenia on the sand bottom and its still doing pretty good. I know their not the best of lamps.. just trying to figure out what is my limit before I get a coral that dies on me.
