Chalice corals and radions

downset21 · 09/21/2017, 07:27 AM

I have three radion G3s with t5 supplements over my 220 gal mixed reef. My radions are set at 35% and everything is happy. I had to move a chalice under an overhang because it faded. It still hasn't changed all the way back. I have a rainbow chalice on the way.

My question is how dark do these need to have it. I have a cave that gets no light from the radions but the T5s can get there. I also have an arch that gets a little radion light and much of the T5s. Where do you guys put your chalices?

Both my chances are on the lower price of my tank. One is under an over hang the other is getting fully blasted by my lights on the sand bed.

Depends on the chalice

Sorry to hijack. I have some Hollywood stunner. In a 150 with 165watt led should I be towards to bottom of the tank? I was under the impression that it was a higher light coral.

Stunners are high light.

I have a Cornbred rainbow crush. Mine is doing ok under an overhang at the bottom.
