Coral Advice
Tank has been set up since Jan. '02. Next month I will be installing 220W PC hellolights retro-fit to my tank. Want to add the following corals. Question one: Is this too many? Question two: are these compatible and do I have adequate lighting?
Green Trachyphyllia Brain
Plerogyra Bubble Coral
Lobophyllia Brain Coral
Devil's Hand Leather Coral
Cauliflower Colt Coral
Sinularia Finger Coral
Green Star Polyps
Yellow Polyps
Actinodiscus Mushroom Blue
Actinodiscus Mushroom Red
Thanks!

How deep is the tank?
I'd say your lighting would be ok for the specimens you listed, and as long as you have room to accomadate sweeper tentacles, that its not to many either.

From my DSB to the top of the H20 is about 12". The lights will be about 4" above that.

220 watts is on the lower end of the scale but you should be ok  |

I agree, with those species, I think you'll be ok.
