Enough for softies?

it sounds alright for soft corals

I think so, I've got a 2 x 96W fixture over my 24" deep 65g (planted tank), it's a fair amount of light. You might not be able to keep some more light-demanding corals but I imagine that zoas, shrooms, some ricordia (some need more light than others as I understand it), fox coral, and maybe an open brain (with spot feeding) would all be okay. I'm not sure about the bubble though. You could also keep non-photosynthetic things like sun corals, if you're willing and able to feed them by hand.

Anti, (yes, i know your suprised I'm actually answering one of your lighting posts) you could also keep azooxanthellate cnidarians. They don't rely on symbiotic zooxanthellae, so they don't need much light. They do, however need you to feed them 'cause they don't use light to produce food.

Unfortunatley, some can be very hard to keep alive.

How about puting the suns in easy reach? That way you can get them out of your tank easy and put them in a large feeding container . Just leave em in there for a while after they open back up feed and voila you've target feed your critter saved your arm and lowered polution levels in your tank.

As far as azooxanthellate cnidarians go, I would do some serious research on what your looking into, tho lighting might not be of importance, some require very strong flows of water, specialized feedings and some are near impossible to keep alive.

Heres a quote or two from some experts

Unknown

The current state of knowledge about the husbandry of these organisms is limited, as is their life span in captivity. For advances in that direction, articles such as those by Charles Delbeek on Dendronephthya and Rob Toonen on nonphotosynthetic gorgonians in this publication are much more likely to provide critical husbandry information

As aquarists, we have experienced around 20 years of success with keeping some corals alive, 10-15 years of success keeping almost all zooxanthellate corals alive, and only limited success with most of the azooxanthellate species.

So please keep this in mind.

As far as lighting, you could probably get away with a colt, brain *if high on reef*, possibly xenia, most shrooms, and a few other softies.
