Lighting question

[Pufferlove]

Will this light support corals in a 55 gallon tank??? http://www.aquatraders.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=52305

Yes but not quite enough for sps imo unless at the very top of the tank.

Ok thanks

These corals are under 4 39w t5's. So ya that fixture should be fine for most. I dont do sps or clams but everything else is rockin.

Nice tank love the open brain

Your tank is beautiful!! Love all the color! Is your clown hosting the brain or did it just happen to be there for the pic?

 

[Animal-Chin]

Ya the clown has been hosting the brain since i put him in the tank. It's his home for sure...

 

[Pufferlove]

Haha that's cool do you know anything of t5's because I like the look of one fixture more

 

[Animal-Chin]

Im not sure what you mean? I have a 4 bulb fixture with 2 actinic + bulbs and 2 10,000 k bulbs. All 39w. Run them 9 hours a day on a timer...

And that's not ticking off the brain? it's cute, but I'd be afraid it will kill the brain. Guess there's not much you can do about it, he'll host whatever he's gonna host.

It ticked ofd the brain for two days but then it opened up and it hasnt been an issue since. Been about six months i guess...
