My mushrooms look pretty week! Everything else looks good-hammerheads, frogspawn,torch corals, etc.. I have the 'shrooms on the bottom of the tank which is a 120 gal. 60 x 24.. What is the lighting to tank ratio?? I have a MH 2 175 watt bulbs plus 2 140 super actinics. That should put me at 630 watts which would equal 5.2 watts per gallon..right? Is this correct and is it enough lighting for most corals?? My bulbs are just past the life expectancy, especially the super actinics..Could this be the reason the 'shrooms look so week????I have new bulbs coming today!!!!!! Any info would sure be helpful..Thanks, so much....Mrpeabody68
