Question: Depth of the tank

Coleus · #1 03-03-2010, 02:34 AM

I am looking for a 3 feet tank, I already purchased a used 4x39w T5. I am wondering what would be the best depth so i can growth SPS and LPS? I am thinking of 18'' but not sure if it is too much light for lps if they sitting at the bottom

a lot will depend on which fixture you bought. You can always raise the light if it's too strong.

with a sundial at 18" deep, i wouldn't expect to much at the sand. mid tank to the top you should have sucess with certain acro's, monti's and stylo's (more of the lower light sps)
