How are my Aussie Duncans doing?

[KingTang]

Hi guys, what do you think of my duncans?

I think they look a little bleached, but they have been at the bottom of my tank since I got them and I am only running Marineland Double Bright leds.

Could it be that it is not getting enough light?

Or is this how they normally look?

They look good to me! They will darken up a bit in time!

Ok thanks,

I feel they look really transparent. And they stretch out a lot. Are they getting enough lighting?

I would say they are not getting enough light. Those marineland fixtures do not produce alot of par at all.

That's what I was thinking. Should I move them up higher in the tank?

It is the marineland double bright. Don't know if that helps.

What about an led par 38 bulb? Are those any good for LPS?

THanks

They look really bleached to me. Mine aren't that color at all. Have you tried feeding it?

Yea those marinelands give out little to no par, the Par 38 bulbs are much better but your still definitely going to have to raise it up in the tank.
