If it were me, I would also remove the 3 hours of moonlight and lower the whites to 20%, that would be the first option.

So like this?

I bought 3 and one didn’t make it through acclimation. 3 days later I couldn’t find an aptasia . Remember, they are nocturnal and out and about when lights go off.

Very true! OK then I might need to look at adding another at some time. Did yours ever appear to irritate corals?

White PAR doesn't count. If it adds 500, it's worth 0, if it adds 10 it's still worth 0.

Great. That's what I was thinking. Like VR said, just seasoning

No, there appears to be at least one left. It just hangs out at the base of my western Raja torch all day.

And this is what I had in the Biocube

Thank you I will try to do something similar.

I think it can be hit or miss. I had three and they did a great job on the Aiptasia, and then on an Acan but they were just stealing the food, then a Gold Hammer that was too near their den, and started on a Green Hammer and Peach Hammer... they went to my LFS and the Peach and Green Hammers are recovering. The Aiptasia have started a slow comeback... Given the choice, I'd use Berghia every time. But I know several others that never had an issue with their Peppermints.

You as well! I'm just impressed that mine are still spawning regularly after 8 or 9 years lol

This is my first batch.

 

[Nor'easter Reefer]

This is my first batch.

That's awesome! I always wanted to build a hatchery tank for mine but worried it would be difficult to keep them happy and spawning after I move them

Mine have been together for years and haven’t spawned. I’m thinking of putting on some Barry White, lighting a few nonscented candles and putting a thimble full of red wine into the tank to see if it helps it along. ;)
