Do you use it for corals?

This light is not bright enough for corals at all I tried it on my 90 gallon reef tank and had to get a different light

I have this on a 20 gallon tank and after acclimating the frags to the light, I have montipora growing about 5" from the surface. But acros or really high light corals, no way. Get a quad t5 ho or a dimmable Evergrow from ebay.

iIt would depend on the type of coral you plan to grow, I'm not an expert but I know certain corals require more lighting than others. I have a 40 Gal. bow tank and only one light and doing ok with it.

I use mine strictly for freshwater, probably could be used for saltwater but I would not recommend it.

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 light is awesome for lps and sps corals. It should be good for an anemone too but it depends on what the anemone likes.

I am still a marine newbie but I have been successful using the light to grow a number of soft corals such as Zoanthids, pulsing Xenia, polyps etc as well as some large polyp stony corals including Porites and open brain corals. I have only just added a montipora so cannot answer about these.

The light you bought is perfect for corals, as my local fish store uses this light on micro tanks to grow SPS. Your fish will already be use to it. Enjoy the look of the light and watch your tank grow.

If your coral is not light sensitive. Meaning if you have low light requirement corals then yes. But as a general I would say at least keep the blue bulb too.

The package says it's not recommended for aquariums. It's fairly toxic stuff and any residue would probably kill fish. I used it to patch a crack in my driveway. It did a good job at that.

I have a 90 gallon reef aquarium and this powerhead is money for my corals. Sometimes I have to turn it down so my corals don't get blown all over the place.

It would probably be a wasted effort. Plants thrive out of the water on their own. It does a superb job in aquariums although. Best of luck.....

I never tried in fresh water but my previous experience I can said good in fresh water. The corals request to much lights than plants. You will be fine in fresh water and you can get very good effects.

Depends how big the tank is its very bright I used to use it on my 5 gallon then when I upgraded to my 30 gallon I had to use 2 of them it also gave me a ton of coraline algae as long as your water quality is good you should grow some nice algae

Yes but if you have the lights for coral the extra layer will dim the amount of lighting reaching the tank up to 15% and even more if you don't frequently clean it. Some glass types are better then other

I don't know.......I don't think it's any more useful than the gravel in your aquarium. I eventually got rid if it because I didn't like the looks in my aquarium.

I use it for my 8/10 gallon nanocube saltwater tank. wish it pushed a bit more volume, but it works well. i've got a choclate chip starfish, curly q anemone, feather duster and small clown fish and two medium pieces of live rock.
