Lightning for my FOWLR

[Mr.Reefer]

I'm setting up a new 98 gal corner tank, its a Japanese tank called "Fujia".
I got it from AquaMania, well the question is, how many watts per gallon I need if I'm not gonna be keeping any coral?
I would like to grow some good coraline anyway, so I'm a little confused.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks!

it depends on the type of lighting , but 2 watts per gallon is the average.
i hope that helps.

PC OR T5 ARE PLENNY FOR ANY SOFT CORALS. THE Q IS IF THEY WILL FIT RIGHT ON YOUR SYSTEM. YOU NEED TO REMEMBER THAT THOSE TYPE OF TANK ARE unique. I use halide. here is what I use. this will tell you the right wattage.
I allways use it.

I will not have any corals, just want some coraline algae on the rocks.

Can someone tell me how much a halide cost?

Depends on brand, wattage, ect. My 250w pendants were $250 a piece. That's pretty average.
