Junkzoo, (hows it goin?  ) Its a 120g, 60"x18"x24"deep, with the lights 10" off the surface. I'm thinking of lowering the hood two inches down, because the pc's are two inches higher than the halides in the hood. And pc's at 12" aren't doin a whole lot of good.

Our main reef is lit with 3 250W MH and the leathers love it. I have several toadstools that have grown up out of the water, even. I have ricordea about halfway up, and it's thriving. Shrooms I keep near the bottom so they have to open way up. I have zoanthids all over, from bottom to right up at the top...
IMHO, acclimation to the light is more important that the light itself. Granted, I don't think I'd put shrooms up near the top, but I prefer "skirts" of shrooms at the bases of the rocks.
Anyway, I'm getting away with it.

I have two 250 watt Iwasakis with three VHO actinics. Sarcophyton, Colt and GSPs get direct lighting, in bottom half of the tank and love it. Mushrooms and Ricordeas didn't open up very well in direct lighting even on the sand bed (24" from water surface). Moved the mushrooms and Ricordea into shaded or partially shaded areas, and now they're happy. |
