My bta tank took a huge hit when the power went out when i was on vacation...it tripped a gfci. I have since removed everything but the heaters from a gfci because of that. Im sorry for your loss.

That is it's color for the most part. It had heat stress so there is still some translucence to the green. But the green is almost as it normally is. The white you see is speckling on the oral disc. It's heavily speckled in a striated pattern. This nem came to me as a shrunk olive green with mustard yellow tips. It has really changed in the last 8 months. It is around 10-11 inches at full spread. I don't feed it very often but when I do it is a pig

any updates?

Here is a video update of the tank. Its doing great and Ive made several upgrades. So here it is

So I'm thinking of upgrading the sump and building a 45 carpet tank and connecting them. But that will be a different thread

I also installed a red sea wavemaster pro, and the slow wave action is really soothing to watch and the bta's really open up. They seem to like the rhythmic motion. I also installed a small hob refugium for flame algae.it looks pretty cool back there
