I’m setting up a radion, what is a good lighting schedule for BTA. It is a hybrid T5 aquaticlife fixture.
Can you share your schedule? Anyone experienced?

As for a lighting schedule, it doesn’t need to be elaborate. Slowly increase intensity in the am and reduce intensity in the afternoon. If your lighting scheme is too much or too little, your BTA will let you know by expanding or retracting and moving about your tank until it’s happy. Remember that lighting represents only part of the equation in maintaining anemones for any great length of time.
Good luck...

My BTA's do fine using the Radiant program at about 65%.
Be sure and use the acclimation program in ESL.

Are you a coral like me? You seem to know a lot about what makes me happy. Pretty good for a human.
