1.023 salinity for BTA

is that okay for my new BTA? or should i slowly raise it up to 1.024 or 1.025
if i have to, what is the best way to do it? my maroon hosted with it btw ;D

 

i keep mine at 1.026

 

uh huh, and what is the best way to do it?
topping off with saltwater ?

 

I would raise it to 1.025 personally. I would probably just manually top off with saltwater until the salinity gets raised.

 

ok i probably should wait for like 2 or 3 days for the anemone to settle before i change the water chemistry right? it's settling great now, seems to have found it's spot ;D it's my first time seeing my clownfish host, it's so cool ;D

 

GUYS!

can i feed my RBTA meaty food everyday since he is very bleached now to aid his recovery?? he's all white with pink tips otherwise looks great.

 

Yes, feed him 1/4" silversides everyday until he starts showing coloration in his trunk again. What type of lighting do you have it under? Anemones will spit out the zooxanthellae when improper lighting is used. If it's not strong enough, it will expel; if it's too strong, it will expel; if it's the incorrect spectrum, it will expel.

 

i have 4x 24 T5 lightings ( half blue half white, bulbs 12000k each ) over a 30 gallon. the little guy's positioned himself right in the middle, but facing the side. and has stayed pretty still. He also ate 2 pieces of 1 inch shrimp today. they don't sell silversides here in my place. any other good alternatives? and 1/4 inch of meat per day is enough? my RBTA is roughly 4 inches wide expanded ;D

thanks for all your help man!

btw , tigermike! i have a maroon hosting my BTA too =D but the maroon doesn't bring food to him sadly, and he's a picky eater, doesn't like mysis and flakes!
