I only got the coral two days ago and this is the first spot I have put it. I’m not sure what par the light has in that area.Could be that the light in your tank is lower than it was used to in the prior location. What PAR are you running in that location?
Was the previous home much brighter?I only got the coral two days ago and this is the first spot I have put it. I’m not sure what par the light has in that area.
It was a large tank with I believe a few Ai hydras.Was the previous home much brighter?
Some other people on other forums are saying it seems the coral is reaching for more light. I am just using a normal light with blue setting.It was a large tank with I believe a few Ai hydras.

It’s just a basic freshwater light with the blue colour on. It ya no adjustment or programming.Do you know which light you are using? We might be able to offer some assistance with re-programming it to what you need. : )
Sorry, friend. I would recommend doing some research on coral and appropriate lighting. I think it is safe to say that you will need to find a new light or return that guy to the store soon or it is going to die.It’s just a basic freshwater light with the blue colour on.

That’s what I thought, I bought the coral pretty much knowing the light wouldn’t be powerful enough. Just thought I’d try it because I’ve had corals so ok under it before. What are some good budget lights you’d recommend for this tank? (5.5g)Sorry, but that light is not going to work. You need a much stronger light that is made for growing coral.
Yea I thought so just wanted to see how it would do because I’ve got away with some coral under the light before. What are some lights you’d recommend that are cheaper in price and will work for this tank only (5.5g)Sorry, friend. I would recommend doing some research on coral and appropriate lighting.

I personally run several AquaIllumination Prime lights on my aquariums; you can probably find a used original Prime here on the marketplace for around $100 or so. It's definitely one of the more affordable yet high quality lights on the market.Yea I thought so just wanted to see how it would do because I’ve got away with some coral under the light before.

Thats what I was thinking. I can get a Ai prime for about $130cad used or I was thinking I can get a kessil a80 tuna blueI personally run several AquaIllumination Prime lights on my aquariums; you can probably find a used original Prime here on the marketplace for around $100 or so.

YeaFor a 5 gallon aquarium with softies and lps I think the kessil a80 would be fine. The AI prime would probably be the better option though.
Hey I found this on kijiji (Canadian craigslist) and was wondering what you thought. He said he’d seek the light separate for $50.For a 5 gallon aquarium with softies and lps I think the kessil a80 would be fine. The AI prime would probably be the better option though.
