question re: PPE and Armagedon

just acquired some of these guys and was wondering if you can tell me if they will like a lot of light or will be fine with moderate ligting..

they're currently in a 12g JBJ nano mid level w/ mild-mod flow under 96w quad PC..

thanks

That should be plenty of light to keep their colors. I have kept mine under MH, VHO, and PC no problems with any of these setups.

I do know that with the PPE's, they will stay a solid color under pc lighting and not speckle up.
I've never had Armagedons.

I think you should be good to go there Marvin....96 watts on a 12g is pretty good and PC's are pretty good when it comes right down to it. You shouldn't have any problems....

I keep Armageddons at the bottom of my 72 bowfront under 2x250w MH and VHO actinics. I had 14k Hamiltons for almost a year, and switched to 20k XM recently for my SPS.

At the bottom of the tank, the Armageddons got redder in the shade, and more metallic orange in the light.

hth.

great... thanks everyone.. I appreciate your insights... I will keep you posted in a month how they're doing...

all I have is 2 polyps of PPE and 1 polyp of Armagedon... hope they settle in fine and start producing...
