Need a carpet dr. !

[Trex]

Could be reaching for more light.

However, what do you have for flow? S. haddonis aren't fans of ton of flow. Shut off the powerhead and return pump for a few minutes and see how it reacts.

If it's lighting, I have a ORPHEK pendant that I could use, vs the Kessil 150w sky blue . It's a stronger and full spectrum.
36 LED's
72watt

18 white
14 blue
2 uv
2 red

Circulation-

I shut off the back power head a few days ago. Just using the return and the one power head with the Jebao wave maker.

What does a very happy carpet look like ?

I keep 1 percent all night.
Don't want anybody to spook and be a snack for the carpet nem

Please excuse the poor photos. As you can see, my tank is round. Taking pictures of these guys, on the curve, is difficult.

Trex, our greens could be twins. The clams are very nice also !

I have night lights on the factory hood with out 14g BioCube and need to rig up something for this 29g.
But, if I change the light from the Kessil 150w Sky Blue, to our ORPHEK, it's apex ready for dawn to dusk.

Don't worry about great pics, as it's also hard with LED lit tanks. The top current shows shadows and he's brighter green than in these pics.

He's now more spread out.

Can you have two or more carpets touching each other ?

Also, I have a Kessil 150w sky blue over the tank and out of curiosity, I hung my ORPHEK pendant over it today. He expanded maybe,....three to four more inch's and has raised his body higher like he's reaching for more sun.
Does that mean he likes or dislikes the much brighter light, or maybe nothing at all, just normal behavior for a carpet ?
I know by the pics that you may not see what we do, but compared to the above pics, he's larger.

What do you think he's,.....thinking ?

I may start another thread about Carpet behavior. My wife named him "Berber" :bigsmile:

By the way, we like the Kessil having more atintic over the ORPKEK's more daylight color. I realize it's more natural, but.......

I've had Gigantea and Magnifica touching with no issues.

Had magnificant sting Haddoni. Not good a combination. That was my experience anyway.

I've had Haddoni + Haddoni touching each other with no issues. Same with Gigantea's.
