PC's

I have a 65 watt coralife 50/50 PC. What kinds of soft coral can i put in my tank? Xenia? Zoos? Shrooms? read my signature for tank specs.

Thanks,
Ryan

 

I used to have that same light..I kept everything you mentioned just fine along with capnella, finger, and toadstool leather and some clove polyps.

 

Thanks for the good news! All those corals you mentioned are perfect. how big was your tank?

 

Take a look at my signature. That is what I have grown under PCs. Remember, you need to replace them out every six months or so. Also, I would use UVL bulbs, just because PCs are not that good of a set up.

 

When I had PC lighting I was able to keep basically any soft coral healthy. If you are looking into sps or lps corals you might be able to keep some "alive" but they will usually not keep their nice colors. <-- that statement only applies to the easier to keep hard corals like some montipora etc.

 

It's the 36 gallon I have now..I just upgraded to 2x65 pc about a month ago

 

So PharmrJ i;m looking at getting new bulbs for my tank, 29gal 130W PC. No corals but I will want some in the future. I have looked at UVL bulbs, what ones give the most PAR with good actinic?

 

this is all shockingly good news to me. I was under the impression that i was going to need at least 1 more 65 watt fixture to keep ANY softie alive. Wow. well thanks for clarifying. Really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Ryan
