Lighting for reefs

[shelden816]

Hello,

I recently got my hands on an 80 gallon bow front tank. I plan on doing corals and fish. Would two 100w light fixtures be enough lighting?

Depends on the lights.

What lights are you planning on using? Might be a good idea to provide a wee bit more information

Personally don’t know much about lights do any recommendations on a budget would be great!

What kind of corals are you planning on caring for in your reef aquarium?

Mostly soft corals, mushrooms, zooanthids, an anemone, maybe a brain?
