    so i got a white tipped torch coral a couple week ago and it is loving it already had growth loves the set up definentely not moving him...but i was wondering what other corals will do well in my tank due to the size of the tank i only have a 11W plu lamp... and the tank is only about 6 Gallon .... so i was wondering which corals would be happy with this lighting and im not sure if you would call the lighting strong, poor, moderate so i was just wondering that to the light easily reachs the bottom of the tank and is very bring down there....:confused:

    I tried to search some on the lamp you have but can't find the par rating on it would you happen to have that? Just for future reference this probably should have went in the lighting forum so we could have answered quicker :)

    there is a few coral that I would suggest that are very hardy and you can keep them in any type of light and that would be leathers and zoas.

    Sorry to hijack but leighton were you able to get a touchpad when the price dropped to really cheap or did you get it before that?
