Lighting for utter chaos & red hornet

[tdm850]

Hi, I just got few utter chaos and red hornet from John and Max (thank you, guys) and I'm curious what kind of light intensity they require. I have 24 gal JBJ nano with 150 watts 14000K metal halide.


Thanks in advance.

Low Light!

Is it pretty much the deeper the color, the lower the light?

Pretty much, but you dont want to go to low!

With a 150mh over a 24 gallon cube I'd start them as low as possible then see how they do from there. Someone correct if I'm wrong but that's the way I would do it. I used to run a 70w metal halide over my 24g and I started all my zoos all the way at the bottom. I bet those guys will grow quick under the 150 though!

That's where the frag is now.....at the sand bed, Max. Looking great!

I have mine pretty high up, and they are all colored up. But I'm using t5s
Will it be more colorful if I lower it?

May be we should make up a matrix for experienced members to fill out. Such as LED vs. T-5 vs. Metal Halide @ Depth @ Species of polyps
