Light needs of leathers?

[Aquandy]

What are the light needs of leathers?

I have two toadstools, one on the bottom, one half way up tank and the bottom one does far better than the higher placed one?

Also have a large finger which seems to prefer lower lighting?

At present have 2 blues and 4 whites (T8), should i go 3 of each and see if this helps?

Hi Andy,

I have a couple of large leathers one high up under 150 MH the other bottom of tank also have a large finger again high up under the MH so I would say it don't make allthat much diff as leathers are pretty bullet proof,

I have just had a move around so will see if any diff will let you know also will look for a pic of my tank so you can see how close to and how far away from the lights they are,

sorry for waffling just trying to help,

Rob.

See what mean Rob. What kind of flow do you have around them, strong, medium, low?
I see you have some seio's which ones? I've two 1500's and sometimes think I'm blasting them too much?
