[BrassMonkey]

will be upgrading tanks soon. can florida and yuma ricoridia handle.

8x36'' overdriven T5s? this is going to be in a 65g 20'' deep.

same for chalice.

Rics love light.

not yumas...

 

[ScubaDiver93]

start at the bottom of the tank...

I think they will be ok. I dont have much experience with yumas but do with recordias. I would agree with ScubaDiver93 start at the bottom. good luck

what is the difference between ricordia's and yumas? Also, would I be able to keep rics in my 90g with 2-65w pc actinics and 2-65w pc 10,000k daylight?

Ricordea yuma and Ricordea florida are two different species, R. yuma is from the Pacific, R. florida from the Caribbean. I can't speak from personal experience on their lighting requirements, but the conventional wisdom is that R. florida requires/enjoys much more light than R. yuma.
