Need help with my BTA tank...

[AliKat]

I have a tank (Red Sea Max) that is devoted to clowns and BTA's. The color in my BTA's faded after they were added, which as I understand is to be expected. What can I be doing to perk up their color?

What additives and such will help these BTA's flourish?

That tank might not be in great shape for the bta.

First off, lighting could very well be the source of the colour loss, and not amount of really any additives would be able to prevent a reaction to insufficent lighting.

>1. What lighting do you have on the tank?
>2. Do you target feed the anems?
>3. What are parameters?

Params are all fine. I feed the BTA's krill once a week. Some of them are very brightly colored and beautiful. It's just a couple I am concerned about.

The lighting is T5's but not sure about specifics. Will have to look it up.

IIRC the "t5s" in the red sea max are actually a PC bulb that has a different pin configuration.

 

[GSMguy]

they are called "T5PC" and are 55w bulbs, no T5s come in 55w config but Pcs do.
