I have just started getting into sps corals.
I have a 40b running 4 39w T5 bulbs.
The 2 actinic bulbs are in the front and the 2 10k bulbs are in the back and a glass lid. I also have a Coral plus ati bulb coming in thursday that will be replacing one of these.
I just picked these up last saturday. The tips on the birds nest are the ones i notice the most since then, the green stag seems to be a little whiter at the tips too.
Could a 4 bulb set up be too intense? I though it would have been too weak.
Green Stag
The birds nest
Sorry for the crappy pics, my phone can only do so much.
Few issues I think:
1) The birdsnest is in the back of the tank, directly under the 2 10K bulbs. i would say 4" behind the actinc bulbs.
2) Light time- honestly on for 13 hours. . .
3)he is about 4" below the waters surface
Calcium is high roughly 480
Nitrate-0
ammonia-0
water temp-80
no dosing or anything as of yet.
any ideas?
