I just moved my monti cap into my 72 gallon tank that has T5 HO lighting. It's up towards the very top of the tank. It was in a smaller tank (again, towards the top) but it was under MH lighting.
I expected a change in the coloring of it but I am concerned that's not doing well...perhaps it's just a normal change to the lighting. It's gone from a rusty red color to a brownish red (much duller).
I'm at work now otherwise I'd have a picture of it. I tested my water last night and the only thing that was off was my nitrates.....it tested just under .5. My calcium is a little low (due for a water change tomorrow) at 380.
Do you think I can keep a monti cap with T5 HO lighting?
