he has alsorts of corals, there unders suficent lighting, in a sepret tank.
the xenias are in a normal standerd light tank, thats what puzzles me, if he thought they needed the extra lighting, why wouldnt he just put them in with the other corals, in the t5 set up?

every body has there own way of of doing things, and it obviously works for him.

clare

he is either ignorant or running them off a high nutrient system...which most corals cant stand.

Hey Clare, I run a 150W Coralife Clamp on MH fixture and all my corals are doing very well. I have Xenia, Zoos, Leather, Polyps, Elegance, Hammer, Frog Spawn, Clam, Goniporia, Acro, etc. No melting, no deaths, no problems. What ever you LFS is telling you about MH is garbage. I wouldn't anymore money on coral until you get your lighting sorted. In addition a great number of coral require feeding to thrive along with consistant water maintenance. Fix the light, keep your water fresh, and research coral needs before you proceed. Good luck!

THinking about it in the shower and i may have finally cracked it

when mh and flourescent lights light up the electricity liquifys the mercury causing UV light which infact is radio-active, maybe thats where the lfs guy got the idea from.

But maybe you should just ask him why does he think that.
