Reef Chicks Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 I would like to know what the appropriate lighting is for a 2.5 gallon. I have a dual 18w Current fixture. Is that enough or too much? Will that burn/wilt/bleach out corals? I keep mostly softies and zoas. Link to comment
kxi Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 i use 2 18 w fixtures over my tank and my zoa's and softies dont seem to mind. i have had some change colors (some zoa's did get a little lighter and i had a frag go from pink to green) but overall its fine and i prefer it over when i only had 1 fixture, even though with 2 algae grows faster Link to comment
ZoeS Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Yep, it's fine. I have 43W over my 2.5 and it's fine. Link to comment
