Depends on the fixture and the tank dimensions.... If the fixture has SLRs and good lamps you can grow quite abit of different corals.. If it has one big reflector then it will most likely be fine for zoos and other "soft" corals.. Keep in mind that zoos can do good in less light they tend to grow better and look better in higher light.
