Yuma Flow

[UH_OH_5_OH]

.....I have my F. Ricordia Green....under dappled light with only a little bit of flow...kind of a wandering flow as it comes from a Hydor rotating disc....


I am guessing that the Yumas I just got today are pretty much the same,,yes ?????

I apologize for the poor preparation but it was a quick rush to get to them as the guy I bought them from had a tear down deadline on the tank they were in !

I give mine medium lighting and medium flow and both yumas and FL are doing fine.

I do about the same for my yuma, maybe slightly below medium flow though. It seems to be doing good so far.

So MH might scorch them then huh...?

My MH lights are 250's at 20K...inside the canopy at about 10 inches from the surface of the water !!!

From what I've read you can keep yumas under direct MH, but you have to acclimate them to it very slowly. But I don't have MH and I only have one yuma so far (many more to come I'm sure), so I definitely have no experience with that.
