Here is the situation. I currently have a 20H which has been up and running for a little over a month. The water and rocks were part of a system thats was up for over 2 yrs so the tank is seasoned. I have a few LPS, zoas, and a pair of false percs currently. I was thinking about adding a small BTA to try to nurture the symbiotic relationship with the clowns.
My lighting currently consists of a 96w PC and the tank is 16" deep. The BTA has its own "island" i created for it and would hopefully sit in the spot I created for it about 8" from the surface.
I wanted to know if anyone had success in keeping them under this lighting? I know they need high light but i have read some accounts where the BTA actually moved to try to avoid lighting that was too high. I have a 250w MH pendant that I could set up but i think it is overkill and i am actually looking to trade someone for a 150 pendant.
bottom line, is 96w enough or should I shoot for the 150 MH or the 2x65w PC?
