what can be grown under these lights?

[timdam]

my friend just got a 37 gallon tank, i believe that's right. her lights that she got are Zoo Med T-5 HO Coral Sun Actinic 420 Fluorescent Bulb. Just one bulb.

Any idea on if this is sufficient enough to grow corals? what kinds? can it grow a monti cap?

no SPS

only softies

Id trade that bulb in for a KZ new Gen, which is at 14K nice color and good par reading, or any ATI blue plus bulbs or if u cant get none then a rewgular reef light (10-20K)


the actinic alone is next to no lighting.

so u just have to switch bulbs?

will this help or still be the same as far as what she can grow?

even if you change the bulb to a sun or daylight bulb I would only stick with softies and zoas.

only softies and zoas and polyps and ... just no SPS.

even if you had an sps survive you probably would not be happy w/ the color & growth. softies, zoas and polyps

It should grow fish, fake plants/corals and algae just fine.
