I saw someone post this question and I was wondering the same thing for my tank. What corals can I keep in my 65g with a 4-39 watt T5 light fixture?

That is my light fixture. I did research before I bought it and it sounded like I could keep almost anything with it, but now I am not so sure. I am using 1 12000k bulb, 1 10000k bulb, 1 atinic plus, and 1 super actinic bulb. Not sure if that info is needed but I thought I would say just in case. Thanks for any input.

I have PC and will be upgrading to MH. while those will do pretty good with some things, some SPS might not do so well unless right at the top of the tank and even then they will just survive and not thrive.

But to answer your question id say softies like shrooms and gsp, leathers, some lps as well like frogspawn or hammer might do nicely as well.

The main thing I was hoping to be able keep is frogspawn, hammer, and zooanthids. Will zoos do good under this lighting? Thanks for the quick response.
