bobbittle Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 You've got approx. 4 watts per gallon...should be sufficient for shrooms, zoos, xenia, leathers, star polyps. Link to comment
yOyOYoo Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 don't forget yellow polyps, ricordia, maybe even frogspawn Link to comment
Dolfan0925 Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 I have 4.3 watts per gallon (28w 50/50pc+ 15w no act) in my 10g and my hammer is branching. Your stuff won't grow like a weed but what nano-reefer wants their corals to outgrow the nano fast? I think you'd be fine with lps but many will disagree:) Link to comment
bobbittle Posted July 13, 2004 Share Posted July 13, 2004 Sorry, forgot some! =) Yeah, definately fine with LPS....we have a brain doing very well at work in a 110 with only 260 watts of light. Link to comment
