I've got a Corallife 36" T5 fixture... It came with two Sea World 39W 12000K T5 HO and two Sea World 39W Actinic T5 HO. My water parameters are spot on and have been for several weeks now. BUT... My corals don't seem to grow like they should. Every thing is thriving and looks great, it's just not growing... I've even got a tiny little patch of GSP that hasn't spread AT ALL.
Does anyone know about this brand name of lights? (Sea World... Really???)
<u>Parameters</u>:
Sg: 1.025
pH: 8.2 ppm
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Nitrite: 0 ppm
Nitrate: 2 ppm
Phosphate: 0.2 ppm
Alkalinity: 9.8 dkH
Calcium: 380 ppm
Magnesium: 1280 ppm
Temp: 79F
<u>Corals</u>:
1 colony of Red Ricordea (2")
1 colony of Blue Ricordea (1")
4 colonies of Multi-Colored Ricordea (>1/2")
1 patch of GSP (1 1/2" x 1/2" strip)
1 colony of Green Palythoas
1 Kenya Tree (3 1/2" tall)
1 head of Frogspawn (about the size of a ping pong ball)
2 tiny Red Mushrooms (smaller than a dime)
Just Added this Weekend:
1 colony of Candy Cane Coral with 12 Heads (possibly has several small Mushrooms on it's stalks)
1 colony of Bubble Coral (size of a tennis ball)
Lights are on for 8 hours daily and I do a 20% water change every Tuesday using RO/DI and Red Sea Coral Pro salt mix.
