Hey Guys,

My 192W PC light fixture went out and I have to order a new one.  I'm
wondering if the 192W (96W actinic and 96W-10,000 K) was overkill for my
30-gallon tank.  I have some live rock with green polyps, ricordea, other
assorted pink mushrooms, some greenish ricordea and what I was told was a
leather coral (not sure exactly what kind).  I'm not sure that I would ever
want to get any more difficult to keep corals.  Do you think that I can get
away with replacing my 192 W with just a  96 W fixture?

Thanks.

Maddie
