awsome growth Thalion whats your Ca and Alk levels?

You can't ask that question.:blushing:

Had a bit of a problem with my Ca RX and it was a bit high.

Thx guys, yes I hope things will get even better. You should see the growth of the yellow monti, it is a bit out of control.

SO SPS can grow under non-halide lighting

Well done

PS: What sort of Kelvin rating is Fuji Purple ?

 

[Shaun]

They don't seem to have a Kelvin rating just Watts.

Please remember my tank is not deep, only 40cm and they sit about 30cm from the lights so only 20cm of water.

But yes you can keep some SPS.

My sps is situated 200 to 300mm from the actual lights, most are showing great growth and colour, except one. Will know in the next couple of months if I can get away with T5's only.

How old is your tank ?

 

[Warr7207]

How old is your tank ?

Tank is 2 months old, system is 5 months

Still new, you should notice a change from around 10 months. SPS do better in a mature tank.

Thanks for the advice. Will keep feeding regularly, they seem to react positively. Also have increase the bioload over the last couple of weeks, so more fish poo = coral food.
