Hello everyone!
I have an old 92 G bowfront corner tank that has been set up for about 4 months now and I have a small collection of Mushrooms, Zoas, and a couple birds nest type frags that are all doing very well. The light I'm using is the Fluval Marine 3.0 and so far I like it and the app that goes with it but I'm convinced it isn't quite strong enough. My Zoas are mostly all on a frag rack half way down the tank and seem to be doing very well. Mushrooms at the bottom are loving it. One Zoa frag at the bottom, which is glued, is reaching for more light and this is where I would like to make my permanent Zoa garden. I would also like to start getting into the more needy corals soon so my question is about supplemental lighting. What do you recommend I do for more light...ditch the Fluval and go to a better light? Add supplemental lighting in addition to the Fluval? Any and all recommendations welcome. Thanks!
