Lighting config for a BTA

[Marty.h]

I never feed silversides myself as there has been known issues with contaminated silversides because they have thawed in transit and become foul i use food grade mussels or shrimp fit for human consumption you know they are of a sound quality then :)


Google....silverside killed anenomie

There is quite a few topics and most opt to use human food grade items to feed them :)

The RBTA will move around to find its sweet spot. Itll move to more flow, less flow area. So just keep an eye out for your powerheads.

This is the truth. You can have some poor lighting, and a BTA will find the sweet spot. I am running LED and they are open all day. They dont even start to close until it has gone dark in the tank.

As far as feeding them. My Clowns bring them food. It is funny. They find the large chunks and drag them to the BTA. But occasionally I will give them a chunk of the Homemade food I made.

Everything you will ever need to know is on there :)

I talked to Melev from Melevs reef. I cut the bright led lights to 3 3/4 hours. The bleaching stopped, it's hanging in there. In the moon lights I can see its zooanthellae slowly coming back. Very slowly. I direct feed it phytoplankton, after which it opens its mouth and then I shoot brineshrimp in its mouth with a syringe ( no needle) its stilled bleached but it looks like the situation is making a huge u-turn.

I sadly lost mine when my tank had to go fallow due to velvet my shrimp attacked it overnight and made a mess of it so will have to wait till i have fish back in there again.

Glad yours is recovering :)
