ung height din.. karamihan dito sir mga naka T5HO, Halides and LEDs kasi they penetrate deeper and also because of the PAR the bulbs emit. The higher the PAR rating is, the more usable the light is to the corals. :)

aside from lighting, i think you also have to consider water flow. yung ibang corals kasi need strong current like the xenia while others ayaw ng malakas na flow like the mushroom.

IMO, try to stay away from corals like elegance and hammer. medyo mahirap kasi makabuhay ng elegance e tapos hammer has long tentacles kaya kelangan malaki space mo... :)
