i believe its 48w total. my friend has the same light and is keeping an assortment of corals and they're growing. lmk.

thing is i have a 30 gal tank, and i have 2 t8 bubls on it now, each of them are 15w so total i have 30w and i tryed putting it some simple mushrooms and they all died, how many watts do i need for this tank? or are the t5 bulbs gonna be better?

I believe T5's are a lot better than T8s. T8s are regular bulbs you can get at home depot. Not good for keeping corals. These bulbs are 24w each, 1 actinic (blue) and 1 10,000K (white).

T5 all the way for saltwater (or LEDs :bigeyes: LOL)

The only application I would use T8 is for freshwater low light plants in my tanks.

 

[chinatown]

even if the t5s are not to much higher in wattage?

Yes. For Saltwater, its either T5s, Halides, or LEDs, IMO.

ok thanx for the info, im just very new at saltwater...
but is 48w enough for my 30gal tank to keep coral?

it is fine for soft corals like zoas and mushrooms, some LPS like frogspawn and such but i don't think my light will fit on your 30 gallon. this light is 24 inches and i think your 30 gallon is 36 inches. correct me if im wrong.
