I've always been the one to say that you can never have too much light, but I thought about it over with my new tank setup.
The tank will be 48X18X17, and the lights are 48'' with 2 400W SE running on a PFO HQI (DE) Ballast.
I got mirrors on the bottom of the tank, and it will be bare bottom. I hear that corals will bleach with no sand bed if there is too much light, and if I want to keep the lights, I must compensate with a huge sandbed...
More Food = Corals able to take more light???
I'm an absolute :noob: to the whole BB deal, and more likely I will have a 5'' deep sandbed on a 30''X18'' tank bottom with alot of rock work in there.
Any advice please??
