    well hello I was told last night that my lights were not good enough to have coral(Current Satellite 1005 1x96). When I called my LFO they told me that this light is what they use in there coral tanks. I got kinda ripped off with the light because I paid 167.99 for it and could of got double the watts online but that is my fault i guess. Is there a way to add to my lights without buying an another fixture?

    simple answer: no you'd have to buy another fixture
    What size tank is it?

    Tangster has some T5 fixtures on sale through his work, they'd work great on that tank size
