lps with t5's

[renogaw]

I have four lps that i have not experienced growth with under pc's...
candycane
trumpet
some brain
galaxea
now that i have the t5's, where should i be putting the corals in a 90 gallon tank?

More than likely anywhere ud like to!
Whats the wattage? Reflectors?

 

[sickboy]

Depending on the wattage, I would also say anywhere. I have trumpets at the bottom of my tank and they are splitting like crazy. I have 156 watts on a 38 (18" deep I think), but they seem to love it down there.

its an aquactinics tx5 with 5 54w bulbs, individual reflectors.

 

[renogaw]

what about a galaxea?

with my tec light I have it every where

I would think you could leave them where they are if you don't want to move them. Just acclimate them to the new light. Don't change your photoperiod, just put like 2 layers of window screen between the light and the tank. After a few days remove one layer. Then another 3-4 days remove the other.

u dont even hv to light acclimate ur corals imo. pc to t5 isnt really that big of a deal for corals. if it was pc to mh, then different story. u can just leave ur corals where they r now. ur corals should really expand under those t5 bulbs.
