BTA - Is my lighting strong enough?

[laeelin]

My 55g is lit by a 12000K REEF SPECTRUM

Is that enough lighting for a BTA?

I have two true percula clownfish that host a toadstool leather coral. I would prefer them to move to the BTA over time, I'm not specially concerned about that.

Your clown fish may not go to the anemone. I've read stories on someone buying a nem and their clowns didn't want anything to do with it.

Your light should be good. The anemone will adjust in your tank to where it likes the light a flow.

That's good to hear.

I've always liked anemones in general, and would like one in that tank even without the clownfish.

My understanding is that you shouldn't expose an anemone to air.

After acclimation how do you transfer them to the tank without adding any of the LFS water with it?

Do you just keep dumping out half of the water multiple times to dilute it and accept the fact that some water will transfer?



Thank you!
