Too much light?
Hello
I have mostly ricordia and euphillyas in my tank. 46 gal bow front with a 3' 6 bulb unit. 3 white, 2 blue , 1 pink. I run 8 hrs a day. I have most of my corals in the sand bed at the moment and am just a bit concerned about moving them up since I already feel like this might be overkill. Any advice would be very much appreciated Thanks Casey |

you are likely okay but to be sure what make/model fixture and how high up is it?

I keep both of those in frag tanks in 4" of water right under 250W Radium - there is no chance that this is more light than that. You should be OK. Go slow.

It's an aquaticlife 36" 6×39w t5 and it's about 5" from top of the water. I'm more worried about the Yuma more than the Florida. Thanks for the replies guys. I was considering taking a bulb out possibly but maybe I'll just go slow and try the euphillyas first. Have to make room for new arrivals
