    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Well, last night the anemone looked great after feeding it. So today a call was made to the LFS, & we are going to return the maroon clown. Now the problem is getting the dang fish out! I spent an hour earlier with my arms in the tank up to my armpits trying to get him out, to no avail. Will try...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Perfect Dark, I read through your wonderful biocube (or nano, I don't remember) diary. What do you dose/add to your tank (if anything)? The supplements we have been adding are (& their descriptions): - SeaChem Reef Builder (raises carbonate alkalinity) - SeaChem Reef Buffer (raises pH to 8.3) -...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Well, I'd like to try to see if I can help the anemone recover. If the anemone lasts that long, I think what I will do is put the clown into my sump/refugium when it comes this week. My husband wants to get a small Nano for his desk at work, so perhaps the clown could live in the refugium until...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    I see your point about the maroon clown. It most certainly does love that anemone a lot. I just ordered a new sump/refugium setup that should come by the end of the week. Once that is set up, would it maybe be a good idea to put either the anemone or the clown in the refugium? If so, which one...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    My testing kits are OceanMaster, I have the Ocean set & the Reef set. None of them have "Zero" levels on the plastic tabs you compare the water to. So I simply listed the lowest option for both Nitrite & Nitrate. Both tests, the water was almost completely clear. Everything else in the tank is...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Okay, so I ran pretty much every test. Amonia: 0 (last night) Ph: 8.2 Nitrate: below 10 Nitrite: below 2 Alk: 3.75 Phos: .3 Also, here are updated pictures. So his mouth is closed, and his arms are not nearly as deflated as they were last night. His foot is nice & secure on the rock. So I...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    The only fish is my tank is the maroon clown. Other than that, there is just crabs & snails. My tank was done cycling before I got the fish & anemone. MY LFS tested my water & said it was fine for both. I see now that wasn't the best advice. Not to come across as ungrateful, but I am obviously...

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Here is my sickly, sad green bubble tip anemone. And here is my now green Devil's Hand Leather. This was a nice looking pink about 3 hours ago.

    What is up with my anemone? Please help.

    Hey, My tank has been done cycling for about 2 weeks. I've had this green bubble tip anemone for about a week & a half. It has been doing great up to this point, puffing up & eating well. I have a maroon clown that hosts it. 2 days ago we moved its position in the tank, but it seemed to be doing...

    Help with lighting please

    Hello, So I set up my first tank about a month ago. When we picked out our set-up we pretty much got what the store owner told us to. I now question our lighting. Our tank dimensions are roughly 36"L x 20"W X 24"H at 65 gallons. We got a "Coralife Aqualight Single Compact Fluorescent Strip...
