    there only in ten gallon, with 2x24 t5s. I have a koralia nano, and a K1 in there but there in a bit of a dead spot, I've had them in spot with more flow and there were very shrunken shrunken then I moved them where they currently are and they got huge. Maybe I'll stop feeding mine for a while and see what happens. The eat blood worms and mysis twice a month.

    Mine are actually in a lower flow area. Also they seem to like a little bit more dirty water (IE. DT's added added)

    So it has been about 8 month since I originally posted this thread and I wanted to update it. I have basically changed the whole reef around:-/

    I am now using the ZEOvit ULNS and amy very happy with the results I am starting to see....

    I have alot of new sps frags that are growing so it will take some time to mature but let me know what you think. If you look at the first post on this thread, there is a picture of what my tank looked like just 8 months ago:eek:

    Thanks for your time and thoughts;D
