Will 150 watts of MH light ( for the 2 feet, another 150 for the other 2 feet) 15" away from a coral in a 100 gallon tank count as a medium-high lighting? Will two agressive corals be able to be close to eachother?
 
bubble coral, crystal,button polyp, green candy cane, hammer.
 
Would MH 150 watts 15" away from a coral be considered medium-high?

it depends who you ask pretty much. if you are looking to match up corals at that depth, then it depends on what site is telling you medium high and what coral it is. place live Liveaquaria say certain acros need medium lighting. when they say some softies that need less lighting need high lighting...
if you are asking if all those corals you listed would do well at that deptch under that light, the answer is yes.
 
To space out my corals I was thinking, since I'm going to have 2 150watts, a bubble coral near one lgiht and the crystal coral near the other once since they have higher lighting needs and are agressive. Then the button polyp, candy cane, and the hammer will be lower than the bubble and the crystal.
 
If i put my button polyp, candy cane, and hammer together will htey kill each other?
 
Also do you need gloves when handling corals? Read they can do nasty things if they get in your blood.Killed someones dog on some forum :eek:
