power compacts

Currently i have a 55gal reef set up with mainly button polyps, gsps, shrooms, feather dusters, and some pipe organs. I was running a coralife 48" power compact fixture with 2- 10k 55w and 2- actinic 65w bulbs. This setup didnt seem to have any light depth at all to it and that crisp clean and...

My lighting has dual 150w hqi and 2 130w PC that are dual actinic. I need to replace the bulbs but was wondering.... Will this be enough for an anemone? I also wish to convert the PC to LEDs. Will the LED lights provide enough lighting for this. Tank is 100 gallon and 60" long

I just bought a tank that has power compacts, 2 ballasts/4 bulbs. I don't know anything about these lights. From what I'm reading I think I need to change the bulbs they have been running since 2008. But my main question is are these good lights for corals or am I limited. The tank has...

72" coralife 3 x 150 watt hqi metal halides with 4 x 96 powercompacts and lunar lights. Metal halides have external ballasts. Light is off of a 180 gallon reef tank that was just sold. Fixture is four years old and is in great working condition. pm if interested

Just wondering, is there significant savings in energy usage/cost when going from pc lights to t5ho? what we have: 2x96W PC fixture, what we're looking at: 4x39W T5 HO. Our current fixture is pretty new, so unless there's a big difference energy-wise, we weren't going to switch over. t.i.a.!

When I buy softies at my LFS where they run metal halides and take them home to my biocube29 with power compacts the mushrooms seem to shrivel up, the Zoas do fine, the yellow polyps do fine and the green star polyps do fine. So, I guess I'm only having a problem with 2 out of 2 mushrooms. Any...
