      What kind of bulbs? If theres four I'm assuming either T5 or standard T8

      I would look into swapping the actinics to give more light power

        O, if those are t5....it should grow anything but coral placement is key.

              Not all lights are created equal.

                    The fixture has independant reflectors for each bulb right?

                      They don't on the coralife fixture.

                      If you have all daylight bulbs on that fixture I would say you could do most soft coral/nems and if placement is right(like mj stated) some hard sps/lps.
