I have 2x96 watt PC on a 65 gal tank. Is this enough for a toadstool leather? And how much flow (using inches/second ) is sufficient for them?

The lights are adequate for a toadstool....i had mine under flourescents when i first started. Flow, if i remember right mine didnt like too much flow, not like the colt i had!

Agree with Fusch. 3 watts per gallon should be fine with Medium flow.:cool:

Does it help to target feed leathers Cyclop-eeze?

You shouldn't need to target feed.

They can live under high light to med light and low to high flow. I like med as it gives the best movement to the polyps.

I took a shot of my yellow sacro tonight for another thread but it will show where my toadstool is in my tank.

Fine I don't have to target feed, but let's for argument sake that I do. Would Cyclop-eeze be too big for the leather to filter feed the Cyclop-eeze?
