Keng Yew, Leong Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 Will a 9watt pc keep a mushroom alive in a 4.5 gallon tank?Is it alright to have polyps there too?Must I place the corals nearer to the light source? Link to comment
HuBu Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 they require moderate lighting. palce them near the light. Link to comment
reiple Posted October 25, 2002 Share Posted October 25, 2002 you'd have to provide adequate light. Even for a nano. 9w for 4.5gal might just be a bit too small. Add an actinic03 (say around 10-15watts). that should do it. keep reefin' Link to comment
kimura Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 Well that comes out to 2 watts per gallon. Personally I would 1) add another 9w or 2) get a 13w at the least...... Although I've seem a few LFS that keep mushrooms in very very low lighting, to almost no direct lighting! With that said, me personally I would just place them either mid-way or even at the bottom. But 9w's is very low to me. Link to comment
