Hi;
My tank "108gal" is being set up for a few select fish but with the main goal of housing corals.
Currently I have 2-48" 40 watt marine glows, 2-48" 40 watt power glows and 2-48" VHO 110 watt Trichromatics.
Grand total of 380 watts of mixed lighting.
Do you think it is enough as a good starting point and if not what do you think I should add. It is obvious that there is not much room left atop of the tank for additional lighting. I don't want to spend an extream amount of money so MH is out of the question until these bulbs at least wear down.

Thanks

hwood98,
The above aforementioned lighting mix will be more than enough to sustain, softies and most LPS's. and if your calcium is up to it, your coraline growth should be awesome.
I personally do not recommend SPS or clams to any sytem not running MHs's
