hey guys I was wondering if having two of these would allow me to house any types of coral? they will be in a 48x22x30 bowfront tank.

is that a bulb? I would say that 2 super actinic bulbs would certainly not be enough for most corals

yes that is. i also have two 250w metal halides but I really dont want to run them as often and thought I could get away with running these
