They originally were in a non established 29 gallon. Then it started leaking. So I bought. A 65 with short time. Filled it with ROI water and added the watter in the tank. Used a new pump that had a lot of beneficially bacteria. And within one month of that being in there. Then tentacles were longer and started getting darker. I also changed the light to 2 t5 bulbs. Which made it so muc better. And they are where they are today

Didn't see you started another thread about it. You could disregard my last comment in your other thread.

What lighting did you switch from and what 2 bulb t5's did you go with? Bulb choices?

If you wanted to you should be able to easily add 2 more bulbs to your setup and you could potentially see more growth and coloration from them. Also opens up more coral choices.

I have a 4x T5 fixture over mine- 2 Blue+, 1 coral+, 1 purple+.

What do you have for flow?
