Just ordered my new light, 250 watt metal halide with two 96 watt PC and four lunar lights. I want to get some mushrooms and zoas is there anything that I cant put under these lights. I am currently running 4 t-5s and my wattage should almost triple. Any suggestions are welcome.
 
I don't think so, halides are pretty powerful. but i don't know.

that is pretty good...I have somewhat the same lights...how big is your aquarium?
 
you defintiely couldn't keep an elephant under there.. though i'd love to see you try :D
 
your pretty much set, you'll want to keep the mushrooms and zoas out of direct light from the halide as there may be too much intensity. any kind of SPS will do fine under and around the halide.

Alot of what you'll be keeping and were in relation to the halide will depend on how far above the water the bulb is and how tall the tank is.
