I am starting to plan my 75g reef. I am thinking of what lights to get. these are some of the corals I want to keep,

Candy Cane Coral
Plate Coral, Short Tentacle
Bubble Coral, White
Hammer / Anchor Coral, Branching
(Zoanthus sp.)

Would 2 150 watt mh be good enough to keep these corals?
Thanks in advance

If there is any possibility of you wanting to keep SPS you might want to consider 175's if you can go the extra few bucks. I always try to think of future expansion when planning out somthing.

Thats plenty, but i would go bigger, in the future you will want more.

those will work just fine but if you ever want to get into SPS and such. I would go with 250's

I would have to agree.

You might want to look into a 6-8 bulb T-5 fixture.

2X 150 watt halides with good reflectors and with some t-5 actinics will be plenty... You will be able to keep sps even under those lights....
