i have my frogspawn growing nicely under 250 MH in my 180 and aswell under TEK t-5's in my 75 but i am not sure there is a good 20in T5 light so your most likely looking at a 75 watt MH Last edited by yourbedormine18; 08-07-2008 at 01:23 PM. Reason: correct something lol |

Frogspawn Euphyllia divisa is a stony coral. Soft and leather corals rarely need that much light. How are you going to control the temp build-up with MH. you going to need a plan. T5 will run cooler but your PC should be all you need, why spend the money. Start saving for a bigger tank with the growth you should get with your frogspawn and leathers you will soon need it. Just a fellow reef nuts opinion. |
