HEY GUYS, NEW TO THE SITE. IVE HAD A 72 GALLON MARINE TANK SINCE 2006. QUESTION... I HAVE FLUVAL LED LIGHTS, 2 SETS OF SKYPAD. IS THERE ANY TYPE OF CORALS I COULD TRY WITH THESE? EASY SOFT CORALS? IVE GOT 100 LBS OF LIVE ROCK, PURPLE TANG, ANGEL, SMALL HIPPO TANG, WRASSE, DRAGON GOBY, A COUPLE OF CHROMIS.... PROTEIN SKIMMER, SUMP. ANY HELP?

Tough. softies maybe but you'd most likely have to place them higher in the tank. those lights are not powerful at all so I would not expect them to penetrate too deep. if you really want to know how efficient they are, you can test their lux or par. I believe @mcarroll has a cheap way to do it.
Thanks, Ive gone thru a lot of lights in 10 years. These give a nice combination of colors. Ive had anemones without any problem... but every try with soft corals ends BAD. Ive enjoyed the FOWLR shrimps, anemones but would like to try more?

72 gallon = 72 bow front, correct?
Anemones generally have the same light requirements as corals...which is to say they are pretty flexible. Download a lux meter app (like "galactica luxmeter" for IOS) and see how bright they are at the water surface.
Can you link us to the specific Fluvial lights you have?
