torch, hammer and frogspawn - too much light?

Would placng one of the above LPS HIGH in the tank under a 250W MH be trouble?

Running out of space, lols

as long as they are acclimated to the light i dont see the problem..maybe start them as low as you can and work them up.. very nice tank by the way..

I've got a 30 cube with a 250 watt halide.

torch, hammer, frogspawn are at the top/middle and grow like crazy.

I agree on moving them up slowly.

How many RBTA's is that?

I would highly suggest putting at least that red Trachyphyllia on the sand, not in the rocks. It could abrade itself on those rocks during it's daily inflation/deflation. The red color indicates it comes from deeper waters and needs less light than most shallow species.

The others (Cynarina and Scolymia?) prefer medium lighting. Be very careful with them on the rocks. Their septa can be damaged easily and their tissue scraped.

3 RBTAs, use to be four, soon to be two though cuz I just traded one for a torch with 10+ heads

I believe all my brains are scolymias, the flat rock dropped on it today while trying to get an RBTA, whoops!
