Can you tell me which color of T5 that makes the Merten's color POP?
Right now, it is under five ATI blue+. Thank you.

Looks like you have medium flow in your tank but your gig looks amazing. Pretty peculiar. I've been told mertens are rather "dull" than most carpet anemones. You'd probably be better off giving him more of a natural sunlight color, preferably a 10-14k looks but I'm sure he'll be fine with any spectrum really. Great video by the way.

Great video, thanks for sharing. How many clowns are in the big blue anemone? LOL looks like a sea crawling with them :D

+1000.

Do you have a FTS? Curious to see how deep (front to back) the tank is. It looks extremely deep in the videos.

Gorgeous tank and anemones. Looks great the way it is to me. I have magnificas, a crispa and BTAs under ATI t-5s and have for years. I think anemones love t-5s.
