Brooks Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 I might want to come by and see before I make a commitment to one. I've always wanted a Sherman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimReefer Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 heres a pic of mine a few months back, its a split from this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeding Posted September 9, 2010 Author Share Posted September 9, 2010 Why does it look like that? Its blue? I don't know why but the bottom one has a slight bluish color to it but the top 2 pics are the same one but its a deeper blue. grimreefer has a split from mine but has better lighting so you could take a look at his to see what it'll look like under better lighting. It has split 3 times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breeding Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 A T-5 and a power compact Mine are under T5's and are fine...how many T5's and what size tank?Is it a 46g? The t5s have one actinic same with the pc and both have one of the regular bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 how many watts are the bulb? Looking at the picture of your mother RBTA, its not getting enough light. That's why it has a fat body and short tentacles. You can either: - add more T5's (not actinics) - put a metal halide pendant over your tank (what I'd do, go for 70 or 150W) - let it wither away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breeding Posted September 10, 2010 Author Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yes its a 46g the same like your 46g bowfront Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura Posted September 10, 2010 Share Posted September 10, 2010 Yes its a 46g the same like your 46g bowfront You need a little more light than what you have...I had 2- actinics and 2- 10K's in my 36" fixture when I had my 46g...I have the same amount of lighting over my 55g in a 4 foot fixture and they are doing well...I would take out the PC's and use that room for more lighting. I know the Pettit's have one of my rbta's under t5's and it is flourishing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
