is it just me or those mushrooms begging for more light?

 

[cassanova]

Do you think thats what it is?

All I have on there right now is 130 watts

 

[reefnetworth]

softies need at least 4W per gallon, an actinic light will give more irredescent colors in combination with whatever light source you choose.

when the shrooms are streched out like that it means they need more light

Generally speaking, shrooms are the least light demanding coral IMO. If you want to keep corals, you're going to need more wattage. JMO

BTW, your picture posting is great! The pics are nice and defined as well.

 

[Bloke]

nice job on the pics. Getting the fish in focus is the hardest!

I wouldn't really go by the watts per gallon rule. Sometimes it doesn't work out as well as you'd like.
I haven't been on this website for a little while but last time I was here people were telling me I should pay more attention to the depth penetration potential of my bulbs.

i very much agree that they don't need much light at all but still need enough, and them streching like that means they are tring to get more.

I second that.

they'll live with 130 watts if that's your concern. But for a 120 gal, you should definitely consider something a little stronger. Most people would go max tank size at 30-40 gal with 130 watts. Again, but depth penetration being your biggest consideration. With that little lighting and that size tank, you really won't be able to keep much else.
