What Corals

[Musho3210]

For my 20 gallon tank i am planning a 6 wpg of PC light, what corals could i put here? I was already planning on some mushrooms and button polyps, but that just isnt enough for me

You mean a 2x65watt PC setup over a 20 long? If so, you could prolly get away with tentacled LPS (frogspawn, Torch, Hammer), and probably some bubble corals or brain corals.

Edit, btw, we dont usually use the WPG ratings here in the marine world

yeah i know about how you dont use the WPG, thats why i said PC light since that gives you a more broad idea

Its a coralife 24" light that uses 2 65 watt, one 10,000k and one blue actinic. Its a 20 gallon high aquarium

It's a 20g high and you squeezed 2x65watt PCs over the top of it?

I was unaware that a 20 tall had dimensions that support such a setup. Got pics?

havent got it yet, in the stage of planning

65 watt lights are 21 inches and the tanks surface area's length is 24 inches, im sure if i retrofit i could do it and ive seen some ones that are made for this that fit on 20 gallons.
