rosco Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 oh yeah give it a day or two bro hows your parameters? mines spreading like mad. did you atleast temperature acclimate it? and also is it under the same lights as where it came from?

marinefish4life Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 yea i did acclimate it, no i think they just have t5s at wonderworld, i have a 150W halide and 2 t8s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted January 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 ok well I know they dont require a lot of light so i wouldnt put em at the top smack bang under a halide so put em at the bottom of your tank and then slowly bring them higher up if u want them up higher in tank over the period of say 3-4days or even a week they might be in a little shock they wont be used to halide id imagine. just my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marinefish4life Posted January 7, 2012 Report Share Posted January 7, 2012 I have them at the bottom corner of the tank in the sand not in direct light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Li@m Posted February 11, 2012 Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 :nfs: looks Awesome. Love that White Bubbly thing, What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosco Posted February 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2012 its a green bubble coral my lighting is set up with more white than any actinics or other spectrum and just t5's so dont get alot of colour popping out but get great growth and corals love it. My clown (sharkbait) is starting to host in it, Which I dont really want but not getting an anemone only had bad experience with them.
