Do I need less light for my Duncan

[Jeff Sparrow]

Everyone is doing well, but I'm just curious if my Duncan needs less light. (Saved from Petco thanks Travis lol)
I have him at the bottom of the tank with good flow In a 40 breeder.

My tank

I would not say 'less light'. Duncan can acclimate to a wide range of light settings. It doesnt look totally happy but doesnt look upset either. Maybe its still acclimating, how long has it been in your tank?

 

[Jeff Sparrow]

Right, its Been about just under a month now I believe.

 

[Mr. Mojo Rising]

I would probably try raising it a bit and see how it does, but honestly hope someone more knowledgeable can provide some more suggestions. Like I said, it doesnt look bad, but something needs a little tweek to make it perfectly happy.

 

[Jeff Sparrow]

Agreed, I'll have to check my water in a few.
But I greatly appreciate your help !

How would you describe the flow? What kind of light is that?

My duncan likes a little less than 100 in terms of par and moderate flow (a good breeze)

 

[Jeff Sparrow]

Oh yeah I got a good breeze going on em.
Lol
Also my Kessil A80 came in today I'm thinking about just running 2 or 3 of them

If the flow is too strong they can close up a bit.

My Duncan gets wider and taller with reduced light. Flow should make them gently wisp around, too much flow and they will shrink for cover. 100 par is a good starting point for light intensity.

I'm off tomorrow so I'm going to have some fun and re arrange the tank . It's time to do some underwater scaping lol
