4 bulb Tek ?

I recently bought a 4 bulb t5 TEK Light for 50 dollars. It was a year and a half old with legs and mounting gear. Here is the question, what can I grow under the light?
I mostly do zoanthids but can I grow a couple hard corals?

Oh heck yes. Anything you want in the top 2/3 of the tank with good bulbs.

It will do best without a splash shield, even if you have to run it an inch or so higher.

thats a good deal! I use the 24 tek and love it. you can grow zoa/paly/softies/chalice most anywhere in the tank and the hard stuff in the top.
