Deep water Acro's
 

I just got rid of the soft corals in my Reef tank other then, a open brain and a candy cane. So i have alot of room on the bottom of the tank. Will deep water Acros do ok down there.

From my experience Mike they can deal with lower light,i have some mid tank under T5's

Which ones are considered deep water? I'm interested.

interested too,

What type of lighting do you have?

They should be able to handle low light because I killed half of my frag because I have it under my 400MH.

I doubt it was the light. I have deep water acros about half way up my tank under 400's with no problem. I have seen them at J&L right under the lights with no problem. They seem to handle light just like any other acro.

I guess your species could have been different though.

poblably not but I have it on top of my 90 gallon.

I have one mounted to a rock on the bottom of my tank under 250w MHs that has coloured up FANTASTICALLY since I got it. (From a dull tan/yellow to a velvety turquise sheen over yellow) It was the last one from JL's new & noteworthy deepwater acro special a couple of months ago.

Keri i think you either got an A. multiacuta or A. Suharsoni, not sure if the spelling is correct but those are some of the most common deepwaters at JL

Thanks :)
I think it is A. Suharsonoi
I'll take new pics soon

Assuming your tank is not over 30" tall, well I would think you should have no problem keeping them 3" off the bottom. I have several deppwater species that I keep 2" off the bottom with my 400W halides and the colour is real nice.

My frag, from the same colony, is 17in. from my 150w 14k Phoenix and has very nice color and is not encrusting excellent.

keri that is what i have too i think

Ahh! A picture is worth 1000 words! All pics under 2x250w MH 10,000k + actinic except very last pic is in the dark w/flash

When I FIRST got it (ugly tan yellow sticks....but I saw potential)
