acros and light

[reef_lover24881]

Hi everyone
I currently run a 24inch t5 fixture over my 34gallon Solana with a bulb combo of 4 blue plus, 1 purple plus, and one aqua blue special, so my question is am I giving my acros enough light??

Absolutely, IME while acros do need high light, water quality is more important as far as coloration and growth.

Youve got alot of light, but you may want to research the color spectrum you are providing. This helped me a long time ago Lighting the Reef Tank: A Primer for Beginners by Doug Wojtczak - Reefkeeping.com

You might consider running 1 10k or 6500k for some whiter light,but intensity should be fine

I run something similar but minus one blue plus and Missy instead. Great growth. But water quality is the first step.
