Is the standard Skkye led light that comes with the IM 10 gallon enough for a bta?

I'm sorry I can't give you a direct answer (maybe someone will!!), but do you have this light already?

If so, can you take a lux measurement and see what the peak and range is across the top of the tank?

(You can get a $free [HASHTAG]#lux[/HASHTAG] [HASHTAG]#meter[/HASHTAG] app that uses the camera on your "smartphone" to get you started, but a $15 handheld unit is my recommended minimum!)

I have the same tank and light...not sure what a "bta" is, but it seems to grow softees that are in the upper part of the tank pretty well...I'm looking to replace it with actinic lighting, but am trying to educate myself on what will grow corals and look good...If you look for a member of the nano forum named Bowen, you'll see his new AI Prime and it looks fantastic...

A bta is a bubble tip anemone.
