Nova Extreme lighting fixture over 30gal L?

[blownz281]

I have a 24" Nova hood with 4-24watt T5HO ATI bulbs. Hood has one large reflector. Tank is a 30gal L -36". Will this lighting be able to keep a GBTA?

It worked great on my 20g H which is taller then this tank. GBTA I had in that tank years ago was tiny and got huge in a few months.

I think you answered your own question, yeah, should be no problem as light is concerned.

I just wish my maroons would give the nem a rest! It has finely started to get use to them being so rough. I figured the light would be plenty and it only walked moved 3 times then has sat still for weeks. Thanks

If they are being too lovey for it's size, you can cover w/ a strawberry basket or similar till it grows a bit.
Nem should be at least 3-4x the size of your clowns.
If sitting still good sign, try not to change anything(light/flow) and maybe feed some mysis to help it grow some.

Nope its big enough for them as they are small and its medium size. They just bite the crap out of the tentacles. They are my fav clowns but the are a pain! I feed it several times and it eats right away. But lately I let the clowns feed it ,brine,flake food. It was happier for the first week or two when the clowns didn't get so rough with it. Its starting to come arund though. It came from the wild as well I would assume. Just adjusting to everything I guess.
