Lightinf for a BTA.

[Tron87]

From what I hear my 226 watts of PC will be sufficient for a BTA as long as it is less that 12" deep in the water. The shape of the tanks allows me only to put my lighting back to back to back. 1-65w 10K, 1-65w Actinic and 1-96w 50/50. all the tubes are right next to each other so the anenome can get all 226 watts at once.

Looking to get one for my new true Perc once I find a good skimmer.

that should be plenty of light for a bta

agreed, but you will not have a high chance of success with putting percs with a BTA. It happens but just not as common.

^ I had been told that Percs will prefer bubble tip nems.

I don't have a preference except in relation to what my system can support. What nems would you suggest and might I have success with them?

And heres my Percula. I can't help but show him off.

ChunksInClemson, I would have to disagree with that. I have three pairs that host in RBTA and know many people in Tulsa/OK that are having the same results. I guess I just lucked out.

MUST BE SOMETHING IN THE WATER : )

My true percs love my BTA. They started hosting the BTA after the BTA was only in the tank for 1 day, (the clowns were there for about 3 weeks prior). Perhaps the fact that my BTA was hosting two maroon clowns at the LFS where I bought it contributed to my success? I am not sure, but I love to watch my percs in my BTA...
