i just got a new green w/ purple polyps birdsnest coral and a really nice green monti and i was wondering if my T-5 lighting was enough to keep them alive and healthy. i have 156 watts of HO T-5 lighting over a 40 gal. so its like 4 watts per gallon. 3 actnics; 2 blues and 1 purple. and one day light bulb. they are both placed at the top of my tank.
a couple of weeks ago i bought a small frag of monti and it bleached in a week. i just tested my water and the only problem i have is phosphate and its at like 0.3-0.5 which isnt enough to kill sps coral right?
everything else tested perfect. my calcium is at 400
