Red face Your help and opinions please

Hi gang.
I purchased a Finnex 32 g. M tank. The lighting that came with the system is 2 X 55w one bulb is a 55w actinic and one is a 55w 10000k day. The bulbs are about 21" long.
The tank is cycling now. I have 29 lbs of LR and 2" of LS.

I need to know will my current lighting be enough for the following coral?

mushrooms...
polyps...
toadstool...
some kind of tree coral (carnation or kenya)...
hammer coral...

Thanks for your input.

BC

I've got one of the 20 gallon M-tanks on my desk at the office keep most of what you have listed in it except for the Hammer coral. These are great little tanks and to me they look better than some of the other nano tanks.

Good luck with your setup.
