    So about 2 and a half weeks ago I purchased a LTA. it has been doing well ever since I put it in. It hasn't moved once since it planed it's foot. He eats 1 krill 3 times a week like a champ. The only thing is that it puffs up nice and fat but only at night/ when the moon lights are on. Then when my day lights kick on he deflates. Any help? Is this ok/ normal?

    I have 4 39 watt T5s. 2- 10,000K and 2 actinic.
    My main T5s are on 9 hours a day and my moonlight LEDs are on two hours before and two hours after.

    Yeah mine did that for a while too. Just keep feeding it. It'll be just fine.
