[clownfish_forever]

Hi brothers,

Just got a 2nd-hand lightset of HO T5 2x10,000K from a friend

May I know what corals are suitable for this lighting? Thank you so much!

mushrooms and leather????? seriously not much info to go by....like the length of the tubes, type of tubes, the light set and your water parameters.....some brand of HO tube from china are only a little brighter then your normal FL lights and not much use in supporting the needs of corals.

it can be misleading to think that most LPS required little light....my LPS like acans, lobo ....etc while at the bottom part of the tank still requires a signification amount of light in order to maintain bright enough colors....

Thanks, it is a 4ft lightset. According to my friend, it was purchased from AquaMarine.

Water parameter should be: NO2 is zero, NO3 is around 20ppm.

So is this good enough for LPS? Mushrooms? Zoos? Leather? Star Polyps? Thank you so much!

Any experts to advise what type of corals are good for this lighting?

i'm assuming 2 tubes for a 4ft tank? might not be sufficient i think, but mushrooms shouldn't be a problem..
