tnyr5 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 i'm growing 3 different types of acropora and an orange monti. cap. under a 96 watt quad and a 55 watt 10k Link to comment
UnbeReefable Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 Mostly Brown Acros and Brown Caps will do perfect under Power Compact Lighting. Although you can get nice greens and even red/orange caps out of 2x96 watt pc. If your tank is tall then you might just need to boost your lighting up to a MH. Acros live in a range of 3 -20 feet of light in the ocean. They do love it bright! Check out www.UnbeReefable.com Link to comment
Gilman Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Nano-Reef.com Math! UnbeReefable = board spammer Spammers = suck CONCLUSION UnbeReefable = suck El Gordo, I have had great success with Green Montipora under a 32watt PC. If you check out Nano Photos on my website (that Im not selling anything on), and search for monti, you will see a photo history of our Monti since we received it months ago. Oh wait never mind, I forgot I created an image that shows it.... Here you go. Gil Link to comment

Gilman Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 Samster, do you have any recent pics of your sps? How is the growth going on it? I may try a bali green slimer frag one day, but I am still a little leary under the medium light I am running. I may end up just sticking with Montis. They have a neat pink one at our LFS that I have had my eye on........ Thanks, Gil Link to comment
myelin Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 I just got a species of acro in my 20L under 2x65 PC's. I am hoping it will branch out. After reading this thread, I have hope. What type of flow do these corals like? Link to comment
technoshaman Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 I keep all my acros (all 3 of them!) in fairly high flow - seems to help polyp extension on the ones I have (yongei, millepora and I think A.nana). I bet you could get away with hydnophora under pcs too - I have had it grow well under VHOs at about 10" under the lamps. Link to comment

tnyr5 Posted October 27, 2003 Share Posted October 27, 2003 personally i think it's more of a water chemistry issue than a light issue with SPS. i have several different colors in my 30 gallon tank. they were originally under a 55 watt and 32 watt PC, then i upped the light to a 96 quad and a 55, no change in color or growth, but when i moved the aquarium to college and made it bigger BOOM, growth doubled and one of the acros turned neon blue-purple with brown and white polyps.
