'BTA bleaching' - update

[WCW]

Got one of the LFS' i go too to swap out the Glo 2x54w light system for a Corallife 4x65w cf w/lunar lights. Hopefully Mr. BTA will like this set up better. He looks fine and happy w/the silver sides I've been feeding him, but I'd really like to see his zooxanthellae (sp?) come back. I took a few pics of it to compare hopefully in the future.

Please tell me this will be enough light this time...? If not, I see no other option than to spend another $350-400 for halide. I know my sig. says 100g tank..it's dimensions are 5ft. in length 19" height and width. BTA is sitting about halfway in between with plenty of area to go higher if he wants.

cheers!

If those new lights you have are T-5ho more than likely you should be fine, that is like 260w
but, you might just want to place your bta closer to the top. and for a tank that big you might also want to upgrade to a 6 or an 8 bulb fixture
