carpet question.

[rslinger]

so my lfs had a green carpet that had turned white. i bought it today for $20 i put it in my tank and uder my lights and it almost instantly turn green again.

No for the question is there a possiblity that my 5 in. GSM will host it. The GSM did host a seabe in my other tank until i moved him in to the bigger tank.

sorry bout punctuation on last post ,that was pretty risky buying
the carpet in that condition . when i bought mine it looked even better after i
put in tank too.now its about the size of a dinner plate and i feed it a full silverside every other day . most of those lfs have like 5100k lights and anenomies dont last long.course im talking bout the so,so lfs .good luck
with the hosting.

i know it was a risky buy, but my LFS got it in by mistake and had no clue what to do with it. there are not many people with saltwater in my town. or the lighting to handle it. they had it for a month or so and it was just turning white. not closed up or looking sick just white and reaching for the light. it is laid out in the sandbed and green now. looks healthy and it ate some krill last night. my clown is hanging around it and keeping the other fish away but has not gone in it yet. Soon maybe.

? what lighting are you guys using? I just got a bubble tip a few days ago from here at swf.com and it is beautiful.
I have 1 10k actnic and 1 20k coralife blue. I just got a 20k vho white, should I change the white to vho?
One lfs told me vho is such high wattage that it gets very hot or something like that.
ANY help in this are would be great.
