Well your rock looks very nice so I imagine you cycled it quite so time ago! And the Nem looks fine but hard to tell with actinic light.

So nice you waited forever! Nothing happens fast in a reef tank except disaster.

Nice Perc I love them. And ALL Clowns.

Thanks, here a better shot with 1 10k 3 antic 54w T5 any thoughts on how many hours to run all 4 10ks ?the lighting at the LFS was rather poor.

not to whore your thread, but im jumping on board also this week and pickin up a RBTA on Wednesday, my tank has been successfully going for about a year and a half now, so I think its time. I have a pair of clowns that right now are hosting in some pulsing xenia, I recently purchases a 150w MH pendant to go along with my 125w worth of PCs, so I think im ready, im interested to see how yours does. Does yours have green or white around the oral disc?

That nem looks totally healthy to me. And like I said your rock looks like a year old at least. So you should be ok.

I usually run 12 hour lighting. 7 hours MH on. URI actinics the rest. But I am sure someone else may be able to help better.

prestage3ek BTA's don't need massive light. But if it is available they will use what they want. They will roam.

nem looks beautiful and healthy...clown looks like a occelaris though and not a percula..
