Polyp Addict Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 My tank is 9" deep, my t5 fixture is about 17" high above the water line, and about 24" from the frags. Since I have such a shallow tank, does that mean I am giving the corals too much light since there isnt much water volume once the light hits the tank? Or is everything ok since I have the fixture about 2' high? Link to comment
thesmallerthebetter Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 just watch the frags for your answer. if they arn't opening or look pale and unhappy prolly too much light, if theyre still behaving as expected then your good Link to comment

I'd let them tell you how there liking it all of them are open with no issues. I just dont want to blast them with too much light and have them fade in color. its a grow out tank with only zoas and palys Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 then keep it going as is, IMO, if your really concerned then run a short photoperiod, I think Im only at ~5 hours or so. But if there looking good then Id let it ride Link to comment
