+dapettit Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 What is the total wattage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 I would want to know the wattage of the bulbs also? ASSUMING they are 39 watt bulbs you shouldn't have a problem with Discoma spp mushrooms and the majority of the brown colored leather corals and SOME of the zoas/palys. There are stoney corals that will do ok also but I suspect you would have problems finding specimens that will keep their colors. You definitely want to talk to whoever you get your animals from and make sure what you're getting was grown under similar lights. With regards to the Marineland Double Bright LED fixture it's really not a very bright fixture. The Marineland Reef Bright is roughly four times brighter and would be ok on a shallower tank but for a 90 there are definitely much better LED fixtures to use.
