    Will 325 watts of T5 lighting be sufficient for a montipora digitata and capriconia on a 75 gallon aquarium?

    I think so. You should get the par meter and check your numbers. It's always interesting. We need to open a thread and put our par reading in it.

    I think that is roughly 4 - 4 1/2 watts per gallon, this is OK. mind you just ok for these guys. I wouldn't expect alot of quick superficial growth, but they should be fine![​IMG]

    As of now I 216 watts of T5. I was going to order a 2nd pair but I decided to get a Hamilton reefstar 150 DE HQI pendant. That will bring up to 4.88 watts per gallon.
