My kinda frag tank

[Robbiesamp]

His is my new 175 mhl and I put my frags down there but it was just my 10 gall tank

 

[Robbiesamp]

Also what can I do to make this coral look good and what do you think is happing

 

[Robbiesamp]

And this one

 

[bigben2057]

Did you say its 175 watt metal halide lighting in a 10 gaL? I think the light is too strong that like 18 watts a gallon.

 

[Robbiesamp]

Yea is it to bad cause I put it on there to help the corals cause they look like crap what if I put it under a net or something

 

[Mpfaff77]

Raise the light

 

[Robbiesamp]

I can't till I get more wood

What is your temp at? That would be the biggest problem. That is too much light tho. You need to raise it up high or use some eggcrate/screen to block some light but that might not be enough and probably will add to the heat if too many layers are blocking airflow.

 

[bigben2057]

I think a two bulb t5 fixture would be better for that tank. The light will need to be raised if not.

 

[Robbiesamp]

My temp is 80
Is that to high is been like that for 2days now

 

[bigben2057]

80 is ok not really bad I keep mine at 78, but the temp is prob fine its the lights.

 

[Robbiesamp]

Yea I might put the light on my 46 gall tank

 

[Robbiesamp]

Does anyone know what's wrong with the corals and what can I do

That's a great idea. A 175mh over a 46g, would do well. All Softies and LPS, with SPS higher up on the rocks.

The light is too dtrong for them..

The light is whats wrong, your cooking them practically. Get them under proper lighting and they may recover.

 

[Robbiesamp]

They started that before

 

[crister13]

Yeah, but your making it worse by keeping them under too strong a light. They're not going to recover if they're being killed.

 

[Robbiesamp]

Ok I understand I put them back and put the light on the 46 gall
