What corals and such can I keep with low wattage lights?

[Moe_K]

Pretty hard to say which light will work for which coral....Too many factors hinge on a correct answer..Like
1) is the system nutrient rich or nutrient poor? If nutient rich you will need more light due to the amount of zoothanthellae in the coral..Less will require less light. IE: zeovit systems are low nutrient systems which means the zoothanthellae is thinner & the light penetrates the thinner flesh of the coral more intense. which in turn allows you to use less light!!!
2) Is the water crystal clear or yellow? Light penetrates thru clear water better than thru yellowed water.

You see what I'm getting at here?
kinda hard to put definitive labels here unless your going to go into detail which in turn would put this thread in the wrong forum!!

This is good material.
Great advice and good food for thought for everyone.
Any specific recommendations for nutrient rich low light, and for nutrient poor low light?
