That isn't much light. You say they had more light in the 15g? You must have had very little light in that tank.... I would suspect that low light has something to do with your problems.

A good amount of light to aim for is 2 watts per gallon, or 100 w for your 50g tank. You have 36 now.

How much light will you have when your ex makes this new lighting setup for you?
