[divemasterjim]

They will be here Tuesday

Green Striped Mushroom
Candy Cane Coral (Fiji)
Plate Coral, Asst. Short Tentacle
Brain Coral, Pineapple
Colony Polyp, Super Colored
Toadstool Mushroom Leather Coral

kind of short on the lighting for a few of those IMO..I would recommend putting the brain, plate, candy cane and toadstool under the strongest part. The plate likes a sandbed so that will be rather difficult, but the others you can put up higher in the rock.

I have to agree on the lighting not being enough. You`ll have to invest in more lighting.

I have over 3 watts per gallon, we shall see

3 watts is nothing.....I have over 9 watts per gallon.

This is not a cheap hobby, I would bite the bullet and buy some better lights, you can retro kits for less than 150$.

Seedemtails You dont even know what type of T5 lights he has? Do you?
T5 are nice lights, as long as they have the HO bulbs and good reflectors.
