is 1 of these lights ok for mushroom coral and zoan??

i have 1 30w daylight tube and 1 30w warmlight tube
or is this not enough? to keep zoan & mushrooms

if this is not enough how many watts do i need? as the t8s have diffrent watts on each
i ment to say are these 2 light ok not 1.

 

sorry just read i need about 150 watt

 

First off, what size tank is this? I kept mushrooms in a 29 gal with 60W of PC lighting.

 

If my conversion is correct, your 60 liter is about 15-20 gal. correct? There is no way you need 150 watts. For what you want, 48 watt is ample. A mix of actinic and daylight.

 

no i have a 40 gallon

 

pc lighting ??? do you mean lights for a computer?

 

No he meant power compact.

 

so how much wattage do i need for a 40 gallon??????????????????

 

IMO you'd need at least 3watts per gallon. I know nothing about t8's so I can't suggest anything to help you there.
I would suggest you look into buying a good T5HO 4x39W fixture. You'll be able to keep any soft corals. With high quality bulbs and individual reflectors you'd be able to keep most LPS and depending on the depth of your tank and flow some SPS later on. Another advantage to T5 is more bulbs in less space and a way more options and variety in bulb choice.

 

yes i am new to the hobby but they dont call them a power compact here thats why i was confused if pc was explained fully i would have understood what they ment.when i type out power compact all that comes out is stuff from the usa, so i gonna get a halide unit as lucky for me they sell them here
