[jamos5790]

I am going to be getting some new light for my 75 gal and was wondering if i could use these and keep corals with them?

I wouldnt use just one of them over your 75 . What type of coral are you wanting to keep

Nothing I think that would be too hard, something like:
shrooms, zoos, frogspawn, hammer, and leathers. Im gonna wait for any sps for awhile.

softies should be fine. BUT, if you can build a canopy, you can have a SWEET lighting setup for cheap.

If you want a full fixture, go with Current USA. You get more bulb for your money this way. I have had nothing but great experiences with this fixture. Great color and impressive growth on all of the animals you listed. You'll do fine with this on a 75 if you keep the Euphyllia towards the top.

You could do 250 watt halides. Tim is selling his used stuff for cheap! and the bulbs are only about a month or two old.

For what you would spend on a fixture, you can have 2x250w halides with xm20k bulbs. Pretty sweet deal and you can keep anything.
