New Light, Coral Adjustment ?

jester123 · 09/17/2007, 02:20 PM

Hi guys

I have a 29 gall tank. i just added a new compact fluor , 96wats , it replaced a regular 20wt light and a slimpaq actnic 18w. With the new lighting do i need to adjust the tank ?

i have 20 pounds live rock , a small rock with spotted mushrooms , a toadstool leather , a finger leather and some mushroom frags. The toadstool is doing really good. the mushrooms ok, i moved them and the toadstool to bottom of tank and i have a few fans. The finger leather seems to be adjusting slow.

salt is 1.023
temp 78
ph- 8.3

i just started adding seachem reef pack.

should my corals be closer to the lights ?

what adjustments should i make with the new light.

any info will be appreciated

thank u

MY FISH - IN 29 my fish . I have 1 firefish , 1 neon goby , 1 yellow goby , 1 cardnal and 1 dragonete . 5 hermits small and 15 snails and 1 camel shrimp.

the 2 gobies are tiny

I don't think there should be any change for that kind of lightning. If you would have change for a stronger light like MH I would have cut on the lightning time.
