green rhodatics extening upwards

[bluezing]

some of them reaching upwards..so much so that it now looks like they have stems

any idea why ah?

[veliferium]

they're reaching for the lights..maybe not enuff light

[bluezing]

but just changed from 55W PL (all blue) to T5 HO 2x24W (1 hite 1 actinic) leh...

last time use PL it doesnt extend...now change liao...it extend instead...wierd

[Panzz]

sometimes this proves signs of good health, how are the other livestock in your tank? I know of some even under MH does that, like some in ML

[bluezing]

wow!

really ah? hehe...

livestocks all swimming happily.

now i change back to the old light set of 55W PL all blue..the "stem" shorter abit...

[gunzo]

maybe your lighting is less with the t5ho

a 55w pl should generate more lumens than 2x24w(48) ho

maybe i m wrong but abit hard to fight with physics

[bluezing]

ya...haha...me lousy with physics and such

[hammy]

maybe u are using old T5 tubes?

[bluezing]

something interesting happened...

i bought the aquaz phytoplankton today.

feed my corals...and seems like it doesnt extend anymore!~

coincidence? hmmmm

[gunzo]

still think its the lites.. i got 1 tube blow for the past week.. all extend till transparent.. and never seen my rhodactics expand until about 4"!!

today just fixed the lites.. and they shrank liao

[bluezing]

ok doki...

yoz bro they nid tijme to adapt after e light blow liaoz..

but remb dun put too much t5 mushies will melt even ur water temp is cold....

for general health of mushies....

lookout for e base....

e surface of e mushies make sure e small polyps is visible and dun varies too much

if they one day bcum flater n flater...

most prob e color will start to fade.... but eventually will bleach....but will take quite sumtimes...

there is a disease far worse than flat worms.... u dun wish to knw

it happen to me...

i can only contain e disease but still duno how to control it yet...

stress.....

gd luckz to ur reefing...
