4x54w Actinic Blue T5 HO and 2x150w 14K HQI
I have them up at the top as you can see but the light is muted by the thick glass supports at the center top of the tank

I wish I knew as well - $5 frag sale - I had this in a 5 gallon nano - it is really tiny as you can tell by the black sand

 

[florida joe]

Al I have been trying to convince people tiny is good for years, but that’s for another thread. They are beautiful

 

[gemmy]

I think they are brown button polyps.
