I have a six foot 125 gallon tank with a six bulb 4 foot tek light for lighting over the tank. Obviously the ends of the tank are a bit darker than the center, my question is does enough light get to the ends of the tank to grow some mushrooms, gsp, etc. (low light stuff)?

I have a 125 with 8 5' t-5s on it and the edges of the tank are hardly even noticable that they dont have lights directly over them, I woul think that with yours you will have nice spots for some low light corals.........I think you will be fine....... I have my leathers and some softies on the edges of my tank and they are fine
