Colorful Lower Light SPS Recommendations

[Madreefer]

Just make sure you run yer LEDs dimmed really low and slowly ramp up the intensity over a few months. I'm sure you did alot of research already. Research yer coral purchases first too. Some recommended to you have to be target fed and not the easiest to keep.

Ah, the eShines. I've seen those in action. How many do you have over what size and depth tank? If you have two of them over a 55G, you could grown SPS pretty much anywhere in the tank. If you have two over a 90G you'll run into some issues with SPS in the lower half of the tank and really high light species like clams and the super fancy SPS. Other than that, you're golden.

Welcome to the dark side...

Thanks for the tip, the LED's are dimmable so I will do this.

ScubaSteve I have two units mounted inside the canopy over a 72 Gallon Bowfront. I believe the depth is 22 inches. Will this still be ok?

Thanks for the responses all, im looking forward to more suggestions!
