Show me some of your BTAs!!!

[dfcjr]

Hey guys, I'mlooking to get a BTA pretty soon and would like to see some pics under different lighting. Thanks.

 

[TOURKID]

this is under pcs.. 65watt white, 65 watt actinic....

but.. it was no way near enough light and my bta was suffering for it... so.. here it is under 250 watt mh

I havent had the mh for long, but the bta is showing alot of improment. it had started to bleach on the disk, and thats almost fully back to normal color. size has increased as well as its happiness. its always wide open now except when its excreating waste

heres a fav.. shaped like a heart. dont remember what lighting tho

 

[dfcjr]

DFCJR, Fish guys had RBTA for $40 make sure your prepared for one though and your tank is aged enough.

 

[steveweast]

Mine under 6,650 watts of light....

 

[TJimino]

OK then can some one tell me How to keep them from moving? And why the clowns pick iff the nubs leaves bald spot. I have one very LG red carpet.

 

[Ironman]

steveweast, you have an amazing tank.

 

[TJimino]

You think thats nice I just checked out his red house WWW. the info on his tank is out of this world. And the things that I learned Very helpful. Then the hard part THE PICS. now thats AMAZING

Hey TOURKID,

What bulb are you using?

 

[dfcjr]

Keep em coming guys.

Ironman= The nem doesnt bother that coral(cloves?) at all?

ezhoops= My tank is7 months old now and I wont be getting the BTA till I get halides which will be another month or two at least. Other than that, all paramaters are rock solid. I'm not going to take it lightly though, I know better than that.

steveweast= I am guilty of one of the seven deadly sins for I truly envy you.

Heres my green BTA under 300W 10000K mH

 

[TOURKID]

boyooso - I bought the mh system used, and the bulb was old-ish. I said blueline on the screw part. I just replaced it with a hamilton 14k. WOW what a difference. had to put a screen back on to acclimate. oh.. and its a 45 gal tank

dfcjr,
as a matter of fact I had to remove my nem from that location two days ago. It was stinging the branches of my pom pom zenia to the point that they were disintegrating and causing unwanted algae blooms on my glass.

Ironman=Bummer, I thought that was a little strange. Cool pic though!!

4x96PC lighting (2 actinics and 2 daylight).
This picture was taken with a flash.

I just posted a whole slew of photos in this forum, so feel free to take a look at them.

Please keep in mind that I just got these guys in the tank, they had been in the tank for less than 48 hours when this picture was taken.

Thanks,
Sarah

It's in a spot that makes it difficult to take pics of it.

 

[ezhoops]

some people call this a marbled BTA

 

[dfcjr]

Nice pics everyone!!

kewliz= What kind of lighting is that under? I love that pink.

ezhoops= Thats a cool looking nem, does it glow marbled under the actinics?
