What types of t5 lighting you using on the smaller tanks?

 

[iretthepirate]

4gal 6w actinic and the other bulb is 10,000k 6w. 10gal 18w 10,000k and 18w actinic

Alot of people say indirect but my Hollywood stunner in my 34 gal is only 6 inches away from top with direct light and it grows like a weed. The ones in my smaller tanks I don't have that great of luck with

Chalices are not all created equal. The stunner is a different type than most chalices and it tolerates and even looks better higher up. Most 'regular' chalices look better in lower light.
