Anemone Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 as above. my yumas moved from a small piece of LR to a more shaded corner at the back of my tank. or squeezed into crevices n cracks. is 120 watts of PL light too much for them? 55w W/W and 55w W/B and 15w artinic. the W/W color temp is 6500k, i think. a bit yellowish. lights on about 10hrs a day. thinking of getting more mushies, but if they all decide to "move house" becoz its too sunny i might as well save some money n go for zoos instead. jon.

Gouldian Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 I dun think too much light is the reason. My Yumas thives at the 150w MH directly shown on it that it multiplied 3x its size everytime the light is on. Maybe you would like to show a pix of the placement so that it would be easier for the reefers here to advise.

SRC Member jesperlam Posted August 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 23, 2004 Yup...i don't think too much lights is the problem. I have 2 rocks of yumas under 4x55w PLs. When lights are on, they seems to be enjoying the lights and open up quite big... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Zero Oxygen Posted August 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 23, 2004 hmmmm could it be ur flow rate around that area. i also notice they like to move around when they are splitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anemone Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 the flow ard tha area isnt strong. at most moderate. hmm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anemone Posted August 23, 2004 Author Share Posted August 23, 2004 thing is, they're moving into areas away from the light. dunno y. that how i came to think that the lighting is too strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Zero Oxygen Posted August 23, 2004 SRC Member Share Posted August 23, 2004 hmmm i agree with the rest of the reefers that they seem to enjoy that amount of light. the closest i placed is about 8 cm away from the T5 lights and they still expand until like nobody business.

terryansimon Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 how long ago did you buy your yumas? and are you sure they are yumas! joke aside, how long ago did you buy them? and is the area of placement super high flow or moderate flow?
