What can I keep with this setup?

[BluegrassReef]

working on a 40 breeder with a single 250 hqi pendant...what corals will I be able to keep?

you'll be able to keep anything. as long as flow and filtration are up to par.

thanks I was a little worried about the light spread...I was leaning more toward LPS for this tank...I have another 40 breeder that will be for sps and I am using 2 175w for that tank.

1x250w is plenty for SPS, especially if you get a top notch reflector and higher par bulb/ballast combo. If you were to get a Lumenarc stealth mini pendant you'd get good spread on a 3' tank.

this is a pendant style reflector...not sure if it is one of the round reflectors or square...I do know the ballast is an icap...it was part of a trade I did for a 75g setup that never went anywhere.

I think you could keep whatever you wanted but some sps would need to be on center of the light

What ever you want to keep as long as you keep everthing stable

You can keep anything you wish in there. Here is a link to an example of what it can turn into.

Stability will be the key with a 40 gal.
