I just got a 90 gallon tank. Have a question. I have 2 different light fixtures.

The first is a coralife aqualight fixture 2 X 150W HQI light with 2 X 96W power compact lights.

The other requires a canopy where I have 2 X T5HO Actinics and 2 X 250W Icecap ballasts with 2 ordinary Mongul reflectors.

I prefer the coralife fixture as I can hang it on the ceiling rather then building a canopy.

I will be transfering all the live rock and corals from my 65 gallon into that tank. Lighting setup for the 65 is a 250W PFO SE metal halide lighting with 2 X 39W T5HO. Corals consists of SPS, LPS softies and clams.

You think the 2 X 150W coralife fixture can brovide all the lighting requirements for the new tank. Thanks
