What type of corals can be grown with this lighting system?

Soft, Zoe, lights are very bright I have them on low for the majority of the time. I have 3 of them for a 180 gal but one or 2 would get the job done!

This lighting system is suitable for all photosynthetic corals. Be sure to acclimate your tank or new corals to the new light by slowing increasing its exposure/intensity to the light. Hope this helps!

The tank is made to grow coral . With that being said if you just add the white led I still don't think there will be enough light . It comes with dual bulbs so you can take out one and it shouldn't get too hot . Plus the tank comes with light fan to cool it down .i'm growing coral with mine and I don't have heat problems . The problem that you will have is with all the lights you will grow alge . Good for reef bad for fresh water .

Yea you can but start by hanging it high and the lowest possible setting on the led Brightness then as the weeks go by lower the lights then adjust the brightness slowly to make sure you don't bleach your corals

The 6500k spectrum is correct for plant growth, but the light level will be insufficient unless your tank is extremely short. You would be better off getting either the marineland double bright, the marineland plant light, or the finnex fugue ray 2.

No marineland has other led lights for planted aquariums the item title is marineland planted aquarium led light or something to that effect and those lights are very expensive right now

No, I would say it's definitely not bright enough for corals/live inverts or anything that requires high intensity lighting.

Probably reef capable. I have this in a planted tank but with plants that only need low light

2 light fixtures are necessary for full coverage on a 48" tank. i've owned these for almost a year with no problems and all corals are thriving!

Probably not bright enough for a reef tank. Marine land makes one that is reef bright though. If you were using it in conjunction with other lights to fill out the color spectrum and add intensity it would work. Other than that I've been pleased with mine, I did have an issue with it, but marine land had a new one to me in under a week.

Well its not giving us much information about spectrum but lumen level seems a bit lower then I would like, Using a fixture like this then I would stick to low to medium light level plants, if the mediums die out then you know you need to stick with low light level plants like java fern and anubias. Also depends on how deep of a tank you have. Try a few listed above, Would not buy a lot to try as they might end up dead.

Unknown. I do know that two of them have grown some soft corals in a ten gallon. I have placed one over a mini fuge and the cheato has gone nuts as well. I haven't tried them on fresh water.

In the coralife brand biocube, there are two fluorescent bulbs and a blue led moon light. There are additional slots for more led lights. You can add the white lights to have a brighter light and more shimmer effect. These do not fit in place of the fluorescent lights. They are add on lights

I use Coralife Colormax Mini Compact Fluorescent 10 watt, 6 inch bulb. It works well.

Yes, but I personally wouldn't do that. LEDs are not perfected for the planted aquarium yet unless you go for the ADA aquarium company which I wouldn't do because of the price. The fluval compact fluorescent that comes with the fluval flora should be perfect. I actually did it on my spec. You need to have a timer and set it for 6 hours or less. That's it don't do eight because algea growth can start and you don't want that. You also will need to do lots of water changes.

I would say fugeray. Idk about a planted tank but this this thing is pretty dang bright. And my corals grow fast. I would defiantly recommend this for a planted tank. And perfect for that size tank as well. There's also no over glare on the floor around the tank. All the light stays in the tank. Witch is important to me

Depends on tank size, mine is over a 20 gallon tall, and is successfully lighting duncans, hammer, and various favia and favites. Also look at the reef breeders nano par 38 lamps, they're not too much more $.

Don't go with the plant+... that's for planted tanks... makes the fish look a little worse... and doesn't give the corals the type of light they need. If your corals are low-light tolerant (mushroom anemones, etc.) or don't require any light whatsoever (such as sun polyps or gorgonians) you'll be fine. The light is so bright (for its size) you MIGHT even get away with large-poly stony corals and any other softies. If, however, your corals require relatively high amounts of light, this light might not be sufficient. Or you might need to put two of them in tandem.
