GobyMan Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 I have started acclimating my 5 1/2 gallon to the new 2 x 55 watt lighting that I got. I am running the actinic for a couple hours then the daylights kick on for about 5 hours and the actinics say on an addtional 2 hours. Does this sound ok? The corals are all opening and thinks look "ok" Thanks for the advice. Link to comment
Satchmo Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 If everything is opening up then you're ok. Watch your coral's reactions and behavior... I'd imagine that would be your best indicator. How did you fit 2x55w PCs over 5.5g? Wow! Link to comment
GobyMan Posted July 10, 2002 Author Share Posted July 10, 2002 The fixture sits up about 3 inches from the top of the tank and has adjustable brackets that let it fit everyting from a 5 1/2 gallon up to a 29. It is very cool. Link to comment

cmoreash Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 wow, 2x55w sounds like overkill on such a small tank. Link to comment

NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Yeah, I want to see what a 5.5 gal. tank looks like with 110watts of light... Link to comment
Toyfreek Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 heres 110W over a 7 gal. Toy guess my server sux! Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 10, 2002 Share Posted July 10, 2002 Haha, I think I need to pull out the shades to look directly at the tank... :cool: Looks very nice though, none of your corals got bleached out or anything? Link to comment
Toyfreek Posted July 11, 2002 Share Posted July 11, 2002 no, no probs with bleaching everyone is happy I lowered the lights over a 6day period. from about 2' to 2" actually its not that bright There is no glare (cept from my crappy fuji-ds10 camera!) Toy Link to comment
