how is this light?

How is this light? Do you think it will work well on my 38gal?? Also would I be limited at keeping anything, such as a clam or the easier sps?


Thanks!

i have been reading nothing but negative threads here on RC about aqua traders. Things like lights catching on fire bad customer service and so on. If i was you your gonna spend 200 bucks on that light save alittle more and order from somewhere else.

I just bought a new t5 fixture from reefgeek Greg was very helpful and told me straight up what would work best for my setup

Jusy my 2 cents

if im reading it right thats 305 and that would put you at 8 watts per gallon. As far as i know that is more than enough for any coral and I would think clams too, but i havent had much dealings with clams.
