I would be a little worried about how big it would grow in a 9 gallon tank. My GBTAs get up to 18 inches in diameter sometimes. I know not all of...
I have been raising btas for years and I would not recommend feeding that often. I feed mine about every 10 days to 2 weeks. Sometimes longer. It...
Salifert for everything but nitrates. Elos make a better test kit for that, it is very accurate.
The best way is to simulate nature as good as you can. I would run the actincs about 14 hours and the 10ks or white lights 8-10 hours during the mid...
Just lay the gsp against the glass and it will grow there sooner or later. I have GSP, anthelia, and elkhorn montipora all encrusting on my glass...

Generally speaking the higher the par the whiter the light. Unless you have an SPS dominated tank I would go with a 14k bulb. XM and Ushio are both...
