Hi,

Right now I'm placing an order with Live Aquaria (since it is a warm spell in winter!). Any way, I was looking at leathers and wonder if they can do good in my tank.

Heres my specs:

AquaC Remora
65W 10,000k and 65w Actinic PC fixture (6.5W / gallon)
Aquaclear 110 refugium
Titaneum Heater


Right no I'm thinkin about a Yellow Fiji Leather and a Toadstool Leather. I'm looking at the specs and was wondering where does 130W of light fall into? I know not high, but moderate? Think my current lighting will suffice?

Right now I have only 2 fish in my 20 gallon H and am maxed out in my opinion (Royal Gramma, and Clarkii Clown)

Corals / Clam in tank:
1 Deresa Clam
1 Pagoda Cup
1 Candy Cane
2 Trachy Geoffry
1 Maze Brain
1 Ricordia
1 Star Polyp colony

Updated tank pic taked yesterday when lighs just turned on at 12:00pm. I know my tank is empty but I'm going to fix it ;)

I sure others may have contrary info, but I would not do the yellow leather. I have only had success with them in brightly lit tanks (metal halide). They will usually turn darker in a tank not lit by MH.
 
I previously had one, but it died because I placed an order oveer the phone and requested it to be removed from the rock. I got it with half the foot ripped off, I think it died because of that (but LA called and said the person had trouble removing it, and if it died they would give me full refund).
