Ricordea Yuma under AI SOL ?

[OOtzie]

The Setting - My 65gal is cycling and in a few weeks I should be able to transfer over some of my reef gems, but I most concerned with my yumas. Ricordea I have always liked but Yumas I love, just a complex looking animal with amazing color :hug:

I have 2 Ai Sol Blues above the system I have yet to turn on, as far as corals are concerned I plan to keep to montipora digi's, yumas, assorted blastos/acan/lps and maybe a few zoas.

What settings is everyone running their sol's?

how high are the lights above the water?

Anyone with yumas under sol's please post a pic i'd like to know everything before I gamble with my most expensive cuts

soon i'll post up my rockscape for opinions on placement tho I have a general idea, thanks for the input I certainly am in need of some !

My sols are almost 100 percent. When it is at it's brightest they are both blues at 95 and whites at 75. The only rics I have are orange rics and they do fine on the bottom. I'll find my pic of my rics

duke, I've followed many threads you comment on so I know you are an LED guy, those rics you have in your pic are the florida variety. Although the yuma and florida are considered similar looking they have different lighting needs. But based off what you said "95blue,75white" and habing florida on the bottom I am likely to have them slightly elevated say the mid to low range which is what I had intended before even writing this post so thanks.

Ive had both yuma and ricordia (florida) under ai sol and ai bega and both just shriveled and "dyed". All jokes aside, i font even bother with yuma/ricordia in my tanks. Other mushrooms do well, just not rics/yuma.
