Lighting for 29 reef

pengface · 05/19/2012, 07:22 PM

Hello all I currently have a odysea 4x25 t5 ho with 2 of their 10k and 2 of their actinic this is a 24 inch fixture on a 30 inch tank. Wondering if this is enough light currently have a torch coral that is in the middle of the tank and he is doing well but my galaxia seems to be suffering and he is higher in the water column. Help!

Welcome to Reef Central Can you move the galaxia to a lower section in the tank? How long have you used this light? How long is your light cycle on?

IMO this is bordeline enough light. You may also want to check flow, corals in direct flow sometimes dont do well. Also water parameters.
