You are right, bleached isn't good - but with the correct lighting and food, it can be reversed

Do you have room to put in one/two more t5 marine white tubes, maybe a remote ballest?

The nem will take a whole, uncooked prawn - but mine also loves cooked ones

I just drop the food into their tentacles

Yes, it is good that he hasn't moved - it means that he has the right amount of flow and somewhere to place his foot - be very careful about moving powerheads near him as this could make him move. The blue lights will not help the Nem, (by the way, what is his name?) - im not sure he has enough light, but lets keep our fingers crossed, you may need to consider selling the aquarays and buying more t5s. Feed the nem a couple of times a week to start with

The blue light makes corals/Nems look pretty and make them glow - however they do not add to the spectrum needed by Nems

Start off feeding every three days or so and see what happens - dont be worried when Boris turns inside out and poos stringy stuff, its all normal but worrying when you first see it happen

I must admit, I would not like a tank without the blue - could you retro fit even just one more t5 tube, is there room?

No but I could ask my lfs to swap a blue aquaray for a white one.

Mike

that sounds a good idea

It does indeed, but one week probably isn't really long enough to tell - if it were me i would do the swop However maybe someone else has a view?

TBH its more important that the animals I keep are happy and healthy.

Have to agree with you there Mike

Ah, so my hunch was right, it is indeed the most gorgous of Roses you lucky chap, it is lovely and with the feeding and the extra light he will get redder and redder I'm not jealous at all, well not much, oh all right ....... i'm jealous
