T5 HO lighting systems

[polarbear]

Im looking for those of you who use T5's on your tanks and keep SPS. I just bought a meridiana sps coral and a lime green acro and was wondering where they should be placed in the tank. I'm running 7 T5's with one VHO actinic. I have a couple of unknown SPS corals growing in the tank now. They a unknown since they started growing from what ever was left on the rock when I got the rocks from another person.

...was wondering where they should be placed in the tank...

I run a 6x24 watt fixture over a 30 gallon tank. I keep my SPS towards the upper half of my tank. They seem to thrive/survive there the best.

Best of luck!

Thanks. I have them on my frag rack unil I pick a good place for them. The rack is a little over half way up in the tank.

I use the Current Nova Extreme Pro, run ATI bulbs, 3- 12,000K bulbs, 2-Actinic and 1- Purple plus and my Sps grow like wild fires, even my Oregon Blue tort that I purchased back in April as a 1/2" frag has grown enough to take a couple of small frags from.... :)
