Trying Gorgs

[daniella3d]

I don't think they would die from the lack of light unless you keep them only under actinic or something with a very low par because you said you had them very close to the light. Probably something else was killing them. They are quite tough.

Most of them like linear flow rather then turbulent.

In my case since I have 4 T5HO but 2 of them are actinic, I would say it's pretty much like a 2 bulb setup that would have a good PAR.

All my params were in check I had them in turbulent areas of the tank as well; so i couldnt see any other reason for them to do so poorly.
