well how much should i have if i were to get a candy cane in my 10 gal very close to the light like within 2 inches of the surface i am at 72 watts of pc
and i am scared of someone telling my you need MH

Candy Canes dont need MH lighting you should be find I would watch it though having it so close to the light you may want to start it as low as you can then bring it higher slowly so it can adapt to the lighting.

i have a candy cane in my 29 gallon with 300 watts of light on it and its doing great. Its justa frag and its growign already

 

[jhebi]

do you guys put the candy cane on the rocks or sand bed, where is better???

 

[bang guy]

IMO they should be glued fast to a rock.
I have a couple in a 10 gallon nano with VHO lighting and I've already had to frag it twice in less than 9 months.
