T5s grow coral. 2x t5s by themselves won't be enough for the higher light corals

Thx!! The smaller Odyssea has 4 t5 bulbs and leds running down the middle

I think that will do it. Run it for a few months and see how you like it

The thing is with QT it's less about growth and more about sustainability. So short answer, yes light will work. I do think with 4xT5s you will see some growth and good color to, but it will really take off once in your DT

If I brought another tank in here right now my wife might just leave!

What do you guys think of these bulbs for the frag qt?
This is what is in the 4 bulb light and the other 3 are spares I have for it.
Do I need to get other bulbs??Blues or something for coral to grow?

Tank will be very white with those. So if you want color or pop in the QT you will want to add the actinic as 1.
Personally I use ATI bulbs. Coral plus blue plus they have some really good visuals to show what different combos look like on their website.

Great thx!

Yup 6500k is daylight. 10k is more crisp white. 14k is a very nice blue white. actinic are those blue blue blue colors that make the colors pop.

I would ditch the 6500k for actinic and leave the 10ks.

Any thoughts on what looks like rust growing in the sand and on the rocks in the DT?

 

[count krunk]

it's not rust growing, that's for sure. Some sort of algae. Perhaps part of the diatom family. I wouldn't sweat it.

Diatoms or dinos.... would be my guess. Part of the uglies.

Is that a Murphy bed you have? Did you custom build it? Love how it was hidden away at first.

Thx! Yes I built that oh 15 years ago. Awesome how it goes away till I need it :)

Well, we turned off the lights and did a water change, it seems to have halted the growth for now.
