i think you may struggle on keeping corals on t8, t5 you can keep a wide selection, most need a mod to bright light , i would look at changing to t5 first.this is my opinion. |

Button polyps should be fine, as well as xenia and star polyps as mentioned. Any mushrooms. If you are prepared to put some hard work in, then sun corals would be ok. |

You should be able to keep cladiela sp. or pussey coral as it is often called (why I do not know).
I have a massive colony that used to thrive under 4 T8's at all depths in a 2 foot deep tank. I would recommend replacing 2 of the T8's with t5's though I think it is the arcadia I bar that makes a good retro fit in juwel aquariums take a look at paraquatics website do a search on google for them. In my experience xenia and star polyps do not do well under T8's despite a lot of information to the contrary. Where abouts are you I have a cladiela frag if you want to give it a go first one free I was going to trade them all in for credit at a shop but if you want to try it risk free so to speak money wise your welcome to one of them. |
