I think thors are compact fluorescents

 

[dadat1968]

Yes compact! Sorry my mistake di you think this is too much for 16gallons?

 

[Adamp_holydiver]

Depends what you are keeping in there

 

[dadat1968]

Zoas frogspawn ricordia anemone

You sould be having anywhere from 2-4 watts per gallon. But compacts are the worst for efficiency so you fine in my opinion. But I would suggest switching to T5 to make i more efficient plus cheaper and much better bulbs

 

[Adamp_holydiver]

But if its working for you and nothing is stressed then leave it the way it is

 

[dadat1968]

All corals doing good except for one zoa colony i placed in the sand loosing its color

 

[Adamp_holydiver]

Did you try placing it in a high spot

 

[Adamp_holydiver]

It's all about experimentation and high water quality
