I have a Biocube that has been sitting on the shelf for a while. I set it up last week. I am going to try to make a "florescent tank". It will only contain bright colored low light pieces, Zoa/Paly's, Acans, Chalices, with fluorescent markers and gorgonias for movement.
The lighting will only be (2) 24 actinic PC lights and (5) stick up led for aesthetics. It does receive direct sun for about 2 hours in the morning when it is not cloudy (which is rare in Michigan).
Filtration will be live rock in the compartment, carbon, Nano skimmer and weekly water changes with my main display.
I want to see how these fair under actinic only conditions. I can and will move the animals back to the well lit display is I see any sign of distress.
Has anyone had any experience with this?
Pics to come Friday evening.
