CGNano Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Will coral grow under Actinic 03's? I'm wanting to stimulate a natural habitat for Pom-pom Crabs. Link to comment
mickey85 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 well, I"ll tell you what...I had a xenia under a 10W standard flourescent bulb in a 2G tank at about 80*. I just put him back in my 5.5G tank (identical parameters), and put my newly bought (for the 2.5G contest) 50/50 mini compact in a socket and hung it over the tank. In the 2G, even though it was warmer and he technically was getting enough light, he was getting long and stringy and was not pulsing...in the 5.5G, within 30 minutes, he was pulsing again and had regained some of his color...after being in the 2G for a couple days. I'd go for it. Link to comment
CGNano Posted October 5, 2005 Author Share Posted October 5, 2005 I'm planning on 18 watts of Actinic 03 PC over a 2.5 Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 hmmmm...i know what this is for...lol...get corals that are deep water coral...(the only one i actually think of that is one is a shroom..but i could be wrong...there may not even be such a thing) but IMO it would work with softies but i think you would have slower growth Link to comment
