Lighting for Reef

[wrgoff]

I have a 240 gallon tank, I currently have 4 (36inch), 2 on the left, 2 on the right, of Current USA Marine Orbit lights. I don't think they produce enough par to grow corals. My question is what can I add to the mix to help in growing corals? I was thinking of added some kind of T5 setup, more more LEDs to increase the par. Any ideas?

My vote is for halides.

Does anyone even still make "metal halides"? I haven't seen them for sale in probably 10 years.

Yes. There are a few vendors. They never went away just not as popular as they once were. But still the best in my opinion.
