I got bored saturday and set up a 2.5 gallon pico. I am taking it to my office whenever it finishes cycling. I have a quick question:

 

I have one of those coralife mini's over it right now (2x9w PC).

Is that going to keep the zoas I plan on putting in the tank bright or is it nopt enough light and going to cause them to turn that ugly brown color? It will be 7.2 WPG witch doesn't really matter a whole lot I know, but the light only has to go through 8" of water at the most to get to the bottom.

 

 

So is that enough to keep the things I put in it colored or will they all turn that crappy brown color?

 

Also, when corals turn that crappy brown color will putting them under a better light make their color come back or is it gone once it's gone?

I use a 2.5 w/that light for coral quarantine. I loose some color intensity, but most of the corals I buy come from pc's anyway.
