Just place a new 8 polyp of greens in my tank about a week ago. Seem to doing ok, but these are my first so I have no real way to tell as I am new at this. Have a 54 gal bow corner with 80lb of live rock. All water parameters are good. CA is at 350. Running 250w mh / 2 x 24w T5 combo. The hood is set 8" above the water. I'm running about 15 x water turnover. I placed them about 5" from the bottom on a nice rock. I have been running my T5s around 5 hours / day and the MHs around 2 to 3 hr/ day. Temp is running 82 with all the equip running. Is the location good and the lighting duration ok? I'm working to acclimate them.
 
Only time will tell I suppose. It might take a while before they fully acclimate to the tank and lighting. Just see how it goes and watch their color and behavior. Sounds like a nice tank, post some pics. :)
 
sooooo..... exactly what can a scuba diving dog do? is there any real purpose to putting that suite on the poor thing and sinking it?

sorry to be off topic...

they are probably acclimating to the lighting. What kind of lights does your LFS have?
