This is my Ritteri Anemone:

Take a look at this Ritteri Anemone: What color(s) would you say it is?

I would give it another 10-14 days and then put a cleaning crew to work.

Leave it - You're fine. Just monitor it.

8.0 - 8.4 Ideally shoot for 8.2 but +/-2 is ok.

I use two Penguin 350 power filters for my 55 gallon. Along with two MaxiJet 600s I think I have pretty good flow. People have argued that canister is the only way to go, but I think they can be more of an issue when it comes to cleaning and maintenance. Others say sump, but they cost WAY too...

They were raised in a tank absent of an anemone. And the anemone I have is an LTA (it was given to me) - not a "natural" anemone for this fish. However, they aren't from the ocean so they might not have any preferences. Anyway, I wasn't sure if the two BW Ocellaris I have will host the LTA...

Will aquacultured (tank raised) percs ever accept an anemone?

Truly, not spectacular, but the best fish is the Maroon Clown. He's personable, large enough to enjoy, and don't take much ---- from others. Best of all, he's EASY to care for unlike some of those mentioned on this list! That sea horse is probably next to impossible to care for. :notsure:

Isn't Ich itself a parasite? How can something safe for inverts kill Ich? Here's what I would do... Use your QT. Set the temp in the low to mid 80s. Get ALL, yes not just those infected, but ALL fish out of the tank and put them into the QT. On their way, do a freshwater bath for about 3...

Are you sure it's not just salt deposits made when you pour water in?

Then why do some people say leave it? What do you do? Is there ANY value to leaving it in the tank period?

Do I remove this exoskeleton? Some have said to leave it in the tank for the Shrimp to eat which aids in the harding of his current exoskeleton. What are your thoughts? Should it stay or should it go?

That was my exact plan! You're the man, again! Thanks mate.

Well, let me ask one more question. Regardless of how fast the fish are cured of their Ich, the DT still needs to remain fishless for at least 4 weeks right? The guy at the LFS told me 7-10 days, but I've never heard of that before! The last thing I want to do is reacclimate my fish to get them...

OK - new test kit it is! Thanks so much! You're the man!

Yes - This QT is set up for this emeregency. I am lowering the gravity to 1.010 and raising the temperature to low 80's in addition to the copper. This is what the LFS has suggested. I know the horror stories of LFS, but mine has usually guided me in the right direction. If I was 100% though I...

The copper I bought is: SeaCure containing Copper Sulfate and Citric Acid the test kit I bought indeed measures Cu. I bought the orange box Aquarium Pharmiceuticals, Inc (your typical drops and tube test). But again, the SeaCure calls for levels of .15-.20 while the test kit's lowest...

DT tank is empty except for a few inverts. The QT has ALL the fish in it. I bought some meds to put in the QT to kill the ich. I bought a test kit along with it only to realize that the box says to raise the copper to a level of 0.15-.020 and the test kits lowest reading is 0.25. When I went...
