Bta lighting?

[c.hill1100]

My bta is at the very top of my tank on the glass deflated I'm not sure if my maroon clown is annoying it or I don't have enough lighting.

I have a 46 gallon bowfront with a single 55x3w setup 10 hours 100% actinic and 5 hours 40-50% whites

I'm also battling 40ppm nitrates which is way to high I know and should be down to safe level in about 2 to 3 weeks hopefully.

Wow nowhere near enough light for a bta

 

[c.hill1100]

Would two 55x3w be sufficient?

 

[c.hill1100]

I put a little nano led directly on top and it's inflating now which is a good sign but it's only temporary til I get the extra light today

What brand, and type of fixture are you using? It sounds like you have some major problems on your hands.

 

[c.hill1100]

I don't know the brand I think it's Chinese but everything else in my tank from zoas sps lps clove polyps and torch are all doing really great

 

[c.hill1100]

It's 55x3w dimable LEDs

That's what they look like

 

[reid429]

Nm that should be enough. For some reason I was thinking you had a single t5

 

[c.hill1100]

What I have should be enough? Then why is my nem at the top of the tank? And she inflated the second I put the nano led on her?
