RBT and Sebae

mfrancis · 03-09-2008, 11:22 PM

Wondering if 130 watts on a 28 gallon is light enough for a bubble tip anenomie, specifically Rose. I have a sebae in the tank rite now that seems to be doing well. I have had him in for a month now

I'll let others answer the question about the lighting but one month isn't nearly long enough to know if it's doing well. These animals have very slow metabolisisms and it takes months before they die and melt away.

note taken. So is 28 gallons large enough to keep them both. And do you think 130 watts in enough.

i would get 150 watt mh. better safe then sorry.plus you could keep more colars later if you wanted to.

The light would depend on what type of lighting and the depth of the tank. If it is PC lighting then I wouldn't do it. I wouldn't do both in that size tank regardless. They are likely to run into each other when wandering then one will win and one will lose.

I think 130 is ok for a RTBA but not a seabe

For an RBTA it can survive under the 130 w of PC's but do I recommend it ? No ! AFA the Sebae definitely not, not even close as these Anemones come from shallow water and require intense lighting to survive long term.
