Hello All,
I now have an ATI power module 6x54 T5 hanging over my 57 g reef tank and it certainly is very bright. I had 7 cheaper t5 tubes under the hood I had over the tank before but this set up is certainly much brighter.:D
I have it 4 inches over the water at the moment but was thinking of raising this to five. Is that ok? It is a 2 foot high tank. Is there an ideal hight or maximum height?
The lights seem very strong and in fact the algae develops on the glass in less than 48 hours. It took 4 days before with the same timer setup. Is that normal?
A purple plus and a blue seem to work well as dawn and dusk lights.
I thought I would buy some of moonlight LED's too. Any suggestions?
Thanks
Paolo
