First order from SWfish.com

[zanoshanox]

Tpday i recieved my first order from swfish. It was two BTA's and three green ric's. Everything looks pretty nice, the rics look a lot more blue than I expected. One of the BTA's is pretty nice and the other is still looking pretty deflated and a little bleached. but overall not bad. Was shipped to my doorstep 30 mins before the estimated arrival. They were excellent with customer service and very easy to contact. Will definitly but from again.

My BTA did the same pose, now and then. I'll bet the color will brighten when they get over the stress. You have other anemone?

 

[devaji108]

good luck
post a pic in a few days kept us posted !

[bcott]

Hope it works for you and what size tank is that?

 

[fanker]

looks grreat shane. it was ghetto until u got a job and now its awsome.

What kind of lights do you have.
It looks like PCs.
The BTA may not recover without stronger lighting or at least move it higher in the tank.

 

[tolboy]

Metal Halides are awesome lights but PC's will get the job done.

Its a 20 gallon long, thanks Dan. Right now im gonna be holding some corals for a friend but after that im setting up a 38 g cube with a 150 w mh fixture over it. It'll be really nice i'm looking forward to it.

 

[fanker]

no offence but tx reef why are u always so negative? u act like everything that everybody has is the wrong thing. its not like we all have the money to pay for the most fansy equipment, so please just lay off the negativity
thanks

I am simply stating my experience.
I have a 55 gallon with 260 watt PCs and I bought a slightly bleached BTA once and watched it slowly decline. It was also only 8" away from the lights.
No need to flip out; just stating my experience.
I am willing to bet that anyone else with any experience will tell you the same thing.

Also, I did not jump on this person or flame them. I simply offered my experience because I am concerned about the well being of a living creature. ***)
