My question os what Corals can i keep with the light setuip in my 75G tank. i know it depends on what i want but i want to know what kinds so i could choose which ones i would want. Also what a good rule of thumb about how long to keep these bulbs before replacing them with new ones.

You can keep softies, zoas, shrooms, and most LPS corals. I would change them every 8-10 months.

What's the bump for?.... There's nothing wrong with Andrew's advice.

Easy boss, dude's got 8 posts :D but I agree that Andrew gave a sound advice.

Another questions is... how tall is the tank? If it is 24" high then you might get away with some LPS... 48" high and you're limited to zoos and other low-light softies

Sorry, something like "Thanks Andrew, anybody else want to chime in?" That sounds a lot better.
