Which corals will work with my garbage lighting?

[TPetty84]

I have a dual actinic 32w and a dual daylight 32w PC light on my tank. OBVIOUSLY I wont be able to keep SPS's but would like to know people's thoughts on what coral will enjoy that lighting.

Thanks for the responses in advance!

What size is your tank?

 

[Reefing Madness]

It would all depend on how deep the tank is. Anything over 12" and I'd say not much of anything, 12" and sofites would be ok.

Don't think you can't keep nice corals. I've had that light and had good success with lps, zoas and softies.

Agreed, you should be fine with most zoa's, LPS and softy's.

Mushrooms would be nice too.

Thanks guys!!

I have an Aquapod 24. I'd say its about 20 inches tall give or take. I used to have two tanks, the other being a 30 long with a halide. The only thing I ever kept in the Aquapod, as far as coral is concerned, is a colt coral. And it grew HUGE within days. It was maybe 2" when introduced to the tank, then expanded to probably 10" in there.

Agreed!

You'll even be able to keep some sps at the top (some montiporas/seriatoporas/stylophora/pocillopora). I'd stay away from acros entirely even though there are some that do well in lower light because most won't.

You can't go wrong with softies/lps though. That light should support them just fine.
