What are my options with this light, as for corals that will do good or excel.

Are they are corals that would be bad for this light, such as to much light? ati2003_sm.jpg

It is a ATI 60" 10x80W Powermodule T5 High-Output Fixture. New it is 1300 dollars, I guess for 300 dollars this was a good pick up.

That is 800w of light, how does that rate compared to MH and such.

Thanks for the advice.

If your tank is around 100 gal it should grow - SPS high in the tank - small tentacle LPS in the middle and large tentacle LPS + softies on the bottom + clams. Over 125 gal - no clams or SPS.
 
Stuff like lettuce corals should be high in the tank - aussies like duncans and elegance mid - hammers + frogspawn low - leathers + polyps low I'd stear clear of LPS plates and brains in a 220 with 10 bulbs
 
So lot of this stuff needs to be low in tank but i can grow any hard tall in tank?

No. You have less than 4wpg. Sps would struggle even at the top. You can put any soft or lps coral anywhere in the tank

Awesome to know. Thank you sir.

I will do only that.

Out of curiosity what do sps need

Sps need near perfect water conditions and 7-8wpg or more
