Hi,
I just upgraded my lighting on my 55G tank..although I have algae problem..slowly getting it under control I hope. I am running a Tek 6 bulb 39W lighting totaling 243W now what will that support in the way of Corals, softies and such?

Since its a 6 bulb you can keep anything, even a 4 bulb will allow you to keep sps higher in the tank

what bulbs do you have ?
