    Your having trouble with PC's b/c you have a 90. I wouldnt put PC's on a 90 unless it was a FOWLR tank. But on a 10g tank, for sure. If he wants to keep all kinds of corals, I would go with the 70w MH like baugherb has. Luna

    With PC"S, you will be able to keep; zoas, mushrooms, ricordias, frogsprawn, hammers, tourches, yellow and green star polyps, basiclly softies. Luna
