There seems to be a difference between the lighting and water quality requirements for hard and soft corals. http://www.aquaristsonline.com/blog/aquarium-equipment/do-you-have-to-have-me Frank  -->>> The Confidence of Amateurs, is the Envy of Professionals <<<-- |

WPG rules don't really work very well. There's a few different kinds of light and many different tank shapes that throw off simple equations like that.
