Baby clowns in sump under red LEDs?

[jaz]

Would baby clowns survive with only red LEDs?

I have acquired all the parts to make a UAS scrubber using red LEDs.
My sump is currently housing a pair of baby clowns lit by cfl's from my water fall scrubber.
They are too small to go into the display and need to stay in the sump until they get bigger.
I'm keen to proceed with my UAS build but not unless my clowns will be ok.

Any ideas?

Coral need light. Im not sure if fish need it at all. At the worst clowns can get bored by monochromatic light :)

Cheers mate, not much information around about this, i think ill probably just put in a cheap led unit so atleast the baby clowns know the difference between day and night.
On with the UAS build then :)

Make sure their food is visible

Yup that was a problem, they had about 2 days of red light and couldn't see any of the food, i ended up moving them into the display.
Still a little small for the display, one has already traveled through the plumbing and ended up back in the sump, but thats alright pipe is open all the way to the sump will just have to check each day until they are bigger.
