I'm planning on picking up some cheato probably this weekend. I have a fuge setup in the sump, and one of my peppermint shrimp took quite a ride to make it into the sump. My first question is should I catch him and move him back to the display or is he safe in the sump? Will he have a problem with or make a problem for the cheato?
My next question is about the lighting. I have one of those cheapo aluminum reflectors already and I plan to use that for the cheato lighting. From my reading I plan to run that light on a reverse timer for about 12 hours a night. Is this the best option for the cheato lighting as far as time? I intend to get a 6500 K CFL bulb for the light and I'm debating whether to clip it to the underside of the top of the stand or simply rest the reflector bulb down on top of some egg crate on top of the fuge? Which would be the better placement option here?
Anything else I should know about cheato and lighting?
