Love the sales!!

by burgerking

Today in the boxing week sales I bought a nice little light for my future saltwater tank, regularily for $250, I got it for $190.

It's a 24" Lunar Aqua Light. It has a 65w 10 000k daylight and then the 65w Blue Actinic 03 Blue and it also has two 4w moon light LEDs.

I bought this assuming it'd be good for me getting into corals down the road. Online and in books, the requirements are stated in a little table. Will I be able to grow the corals that require "high lighting requirements".

BTW, it's a 28g bowfront tank.

I have 4.642857142857142857142857 watts per gallon(roughly). So should I avoid the corals with high lighting requirements and stick with moderate to low??
