    Mine are doing fine under T5 tubes
    they are between 16 and 20 inches away from it

    they take a while to adjust IME failing to inflate to their full potential until they have acclimatised and once thats happened they seem contented

    Here's mine a few weeks ago. Mine doesn't start to open up until actinics only are on and then completely open with lights out. Only about 4 inches long and feeds well!!

    All of those above are absolutely gorgeous!
