LPS in a nano

hi I am new and I have a ten gallon reef with a T% coralife minilight with 2 6 watt bulbs then I also have a T8 light fixture with a 15 watt bulb that is 12 inches long it is 960 lumins. is this enough for any LPS corals

 

There isn't any accurate way to convert lumens to light usable by corals. The lights you describe should be okay for many LPS corals. However, you may need to ask separately, about specific corals. Not all LPS corals have the same requirements, it is a large non-scientific grouping of corals, that may or may not have any similarities.

 

+1

you should be good w/the basics!

 

Alot of LPS have stinging sweeper tentacles so depending on space and species there may be limitations

 

Ok great My LFS has some great acans, favias and open brain coral. I would like to pick some up later today. do you think my lighting is sufficant for them? plus will they benifit alot if I culture some pods for them on y refugium? All I have now is just some macro algae and LR.

 

ok well i went with a helthy flowerpot coral gonipora or gonoporia or somethin well it looks great and the head tentical things are coming out
