    Hello all

    Well as some might know, i am starting a new tank this july and am trying to get info for it.

    Ok, the question is on corals and lighting

    in a 24gal tank, will 2x70w mhs (prolly 20k) and a few...maybe 10w t-5 actinics be ok for...well...any coral?

    That would be 140Watts MH, I think that should be plenty!

    I have a 175 on my 58 gallon and I have a couple SPS that are doing very well. :)
