Adding extra light

[clarkschildcare]

I want to add new light well more light.. I ahve a 75 gal. I have a canopy with 2 white 2 blue and 2 moon lights I wanna say they are 65 if that sounds right? I need to add more light so I can get more coral

Do i have to get rid of my old light and get new or can I add additional lighting to the front of the tank

That lighting is likely okay for soft corals. What corals did you want to keep? Lighting gets very expensive.

well depending on how nifty you are with the power tools. you COULD technicnliy speaking buy a MH retrofit kit and break apart your old strip and turn it into a weird retrofit system. or just order some T5HO for your canopy and place them off set of the CF strip.

I'm not sure what animal you mean. If you could post a link, that would help a lot.
