In my 55 I have the following. GBTA, Frogspawn, Hammer, Torch, pineapple brain, toadstool, crocea clam, zoos, rics, candy cane and all are doing well. I am pleased with the lighting, but I will be buying aquactinics or tek at some point. The fixture was given to me via a trade in at my lfs, so I am happy and would recommend them to anyone.

A derasa which is my favorite could go under these lights no problem, but anything else is risky, My crocea is doing wonderful
