Is bubble tip ok?

[Stege_saurus]

These work with closed lid tanks?

Do you have a pic of the top? So I can see exactly what you're talking about? This is what they look like on top of my tank.

If the light comes off, you should be fine. If not you may have to redo your top to fit a different light.

You should be fine then. We have the same setup on our freshwater tank.

When it starts to fall of and drastically change color is when its too late. If you can go to a LFS and buy a frozen food, it could help with keeping it alive. I feed mine silversides about once every other week just for additional nutrition and energy.

I’ve fed it some brine and mysis with a dropper

It would be very iffy, due to it being for freshwater spectrum. Type in "coral" with what youre searching and see what comes up.

How long do you leave the lights on?

How long do you leave the lights on?

8 to 10 hours. Also once it comes around feed it shrimp once a week

 

[Cbones1979]

Hopefully it lasts until I get the light

This seem ok?

ImMy BTA has not been directly feed in the 9 months I’ve had it, or the 6+ months the store had it before me. I don’t recommend feeding them.

 

[Jon Fishman]

There are cheap options out there, but I doubt you’re gonna find a $30 light to keep a BTA alive

 

[Cbones1979]

Depends on what you're looking to spend. I have a budget friendly set of lights that do the job. Ordered them on Amazon. Current USA Orbit Marine Aquarium... You can always go more expensive with the Kessil lights or other top brands.

Got this one coming Wednesday. Wish me luck. I’d imagine the bubble can make a recovery
