    Lighting help!

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Bought this 48" light T5 but don't know what the wattage is. 233497919518adc8b546b9b4a2147121.jpg

     

    I want to buy 4 t5's and not sure how much wattage each T5 should be.

     

    Information that you'll probably need is:

     

    Inhabitants:

    softies (Kenya trees, Colts, Xenia, sinularia)

     

    macro algae (various caulerpa, dragons breath, etc.)

     

    Photosynthetic gorgonians

     

    Tank is 18" tall.

     

    The lights I found were 54w each. Is this too much?

    FWIW on the rock, personally with the risk of getting more than you want i.e. pests, aptasia, bubble, polyclads, and a host of other nasties, I'd not get live rock from any existing tank, tank tear down etc.

     

    Just my opinion/experience

    I wouldn't either. It took me one hydroid infestation to make me realize that dry rock is best after curing it. What are you going to house in the tank?

     

    Btw it's a beautiful tank!!!

    Reefing is a dark hobby

    well..... It's meant to do that!!! I agree with the regulating of any wildlife. We should not be pulling anything out of the wild without regulating!!

     

    Honestly, i think the efforts needs to be spent on breeding... and building reef farms for not only the hobby..but more so for re-populating the natural reefs that have been destroyed.

    I agree, we should support Captive Bred fisheries and aquacultured coral farms. I am also in favor of artificial live rocks in order to protect the reefs!
