how many watts is your pc (power compact)

 

[birdy607]

well its about 2.5 watts per gallon but the store i go to said that the lights are much more power ful than the wattage acctully is

if its the lights that came with the biocube thats not enough you will have a unhappy bta like i said it will thrive for a short period but will start to bleach and try to put the bta as close to the top as you can put a power head directed to where tou want the bta to stay it will move around till it finds a spot if you love this hobby as much as most people here do youll take my advice and go with a stronger light metal halide is your best choice,also your water must be perfect i do 5 gl water changes every sunday on my bio c.

and dont always take the advice the lfs tell you research first you can find everything you need to know on this site!!

more light would be better for sure!

How about 7 watts per gallon?
I have 192 watts of Power compact over a 25 gallon
would that be sufficient for a BTA?

What other parameters are important to this anemones health?
