![]() How much lighting do I need to raise my corals . I have a 62 gallon corner tank it's not insanly deep but it definately not shallow its maybe 22inches deep. gonna start with soft corals but I am eyeballing the stoney corals.
Once my tank is mature enough for the stony corals I do not want to change my light fixture unless I have to! Please advise. |
