newbie needs help

[kilo]

hey guys so this is my 2nd post but heres the deal.. i used to have some reg. light that the guy at the store sold me, and i just "upgraded" to a (T5 HO dual, white blue 48w) light system. my friend recently gave me several poylps, a rainbow coral and 2 orange mushrooms.. how will these do with this lighting system, will it be enough?
thanks
jake

48W In total or each bulb 48w??
Either way i would say your alright, for those types of coral

 

[marcah]

the only one that would worry me at all would be the rainbow others I say would be fine..

it is 48w in total 24w blue 24w white. my friend was concerned that they would not grow

I'm not sure what a rainbow coral is but, I agree with the others that the other corals will be ok with that lighting.

 

[Waddi]

Well i say your ok, just place them not on the bottom but around the rockwork giving them a bit of height to reach the light, and they should grow fine.

I have seen rainbow acan and monti's so I was assuming ( probably not good you know what they say) one of those which would worry me..

your (rainbow coral) is actually one of the corals that needs very low light a ricordia, the other 2 are zoanthids. the ones thats have the green skirt and the pink center are called eagle eyes.
