Haelstrom Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Can I put Frogspawn in my 29g Biocube with stock Compact lighting? And have it survive and be happy! And since we are on the topic. How about Torch Coral, Ricordea Mushrooms and Bubble Corals? And what others would you suggest? Plan is to upgrade to LED's one day but that's looking months to maybe a year down the road.

All of the above should survive just fine with PCs. Link to comment

NanoRook Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Yes all around. I also have the first three in my biocube right now and the frogspawn has gone from 2 heads to 10 in about 11 months. Link to comment
Whys Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Most softies do well in low light. This is because they often grow in the lower slower-flow areas of the reef, where less light penetrates. Conversely, many SPS only do well in high light and high flow because they typically grow closer to the water's surface. PCs actually produce a lot of light for their size, but have a short life span. They lose lumens too gradually to notice, but after about six months, put it next to a new one and you'll see the difference. You might be happier with LEDs in the long run, but it can wait.

No doubt I would be happier with the LED's. But the cost will have me waiting a while. The layout I was looking to do will set me back about $350. Not too bad but still hurts. Link to comment
