whats the best lighting for a softie tank?
i have a 50/50 T5 2x24w HO setup right now on my 20g long tank...as of right now i have a GBTA, bubble coral, some zoos, and a frogspawn...everything seems to be doing fine but im curious as to what i can do better to promote more growth light-wise...thanks in advance

The T5s you have on there should be enough for your softies. Not that it really matters, but what kind of reflectors do you have on the T5s?
Just give it some time and some flow and you should see progress if your water parameters are within spec.

GBTA? As in Green Bubble Tip Anemone? Um, you're going to need a LOT more light for this guy to thrive! The light that you have is OK for your other corals, but they would certainly appreciate more light as well. Any chance for you to double your light?

Mine are growing much better since I put a 150 and 2 - 65 actinics. A lot of light but a lot of growth.
