    Default T5 HO lighting systems

    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.

    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.
