[wocka]

[asbury030]

thats pretty nice what do you think will be ur next coral.

 

[wocka]

bubble tip anemone/hammer/frogspawn. im positive they will survive. i know some one with a 30g with same lighting and they have a BTA and frogspawn

 

[wocka]

maybe they just got in .. i turned on my moonlight and im seeing these little worm list creechers. they do a little shake fuzz thing to get around. and there coming out when the moonlight it on. what are they? they look exactly like this

Good luck Wocka, I have a 30 gallon with about a 3 gallon HoB fuge and a Saline solution skimmer. I have 2x65 watt PC lighting and a green BTA. He has been in the tank for 6 weeks and is doing just fine - feed him about twice a week. Usually a couple of days before a water change so I can change the water after he takes a dump

haha nice. do u think i can have succes? im really looking forward to getting this BTA. i hope i get a nice coloration ( maybe green if there available. ) im not sure what else i would get.. probly a hammer frag
Edit : where did u get ur HOB fuge? im looking for a hang on fuge, but im not sure if i have enough room. my HOB penguin filter takes up about 6-8". tank is 24" long.

I dont see why you couldnt have success. As I understand it is hit and miss with our lighting setup. But it seems more and more people are popping up with the same setup, and are doing just fine.
:jumping:
My fuge was second hand, I bought it locally and it was a homemade job. pretty much a copy of the CPR HoB though. I think they come in about 3 different sizes. you will need about 5 inches from the back of the tank to the wall for it to fit.
I dont think length will be a problem I have at least 8 inches to spare.
Try a search for "CPR Aquafuge"

i was looking on line, those HOB fuges are EXSPENSIVE! anyway, ill be looking into it.

Sometimes there is a great deal on those aquafuges on ---- or a used one here or on a nother forum. I've been looking for one but they get taken so quickley!

I have 2x65w on my 28gal that i'm not happy with. My green BTA has bleached out and the hard corals slowly starter to peter away as well...so I am replacing them with a 250w x 2x75w ($250 on ----)

 

[wocka]

how long did it take for ur bta to bleah

 

[smickied]

About 4 months. I wishing and hopeing that it'll come back after the new lights are added.:nervous:

 

[wocka]

did u feed it?

I'm not expert at all with anemones...I had one for a few days way back when. I wonder, when the BTA moves around and gets close enough where it can sting or get stung but another coral like a frogspawn and hammer, which one wins?
