Thomas, you areound? Also, anyone else who knows about Anemonies well, please I need some help to determine what is going on. Thomas knows I don't have the best luck with Anemonies. My new guy lasted longest.... but today I have a rather large snail in the tank... and for weeks I noticed...

My maroon with yellow stripes Clown has got black splotches all over him. About a week and a half ago..... I had an out break of Red-Slime algea, so I am told. I did water changes, turned out the lights for about 3 days and knocked all the algea off my LR that I could find.. then took a turkey...

Thomas,' Thanks, I think a refractometer may be my next purchase. :-)

First, I have a 12 gallon Nano tank.... My Specific Gravitiy is normally arount 1.023 - 1.024 The salinity is reading at the low side of the 36ppt mark. Are you testing the saltwater before adding it during water changes? YES I AM......... I use the saltwater and purchase it already mixed...

Thomas are you around? I noticed my maroon and gold Clown was swimming at the bottom of the tank. I took a water reading and my specific gravitiy tested at 1.027 WHY would it jump that high? My water evaporation is only about 1/4 to 1/2 down at the most 1 inch and I doubt it is that...

I will move the Leather... back up on a rock.... But, you probably did not get in on the sad story of the demise of my Anemone. I brought him home from the fish store on Mothers Day. He was a LTA. Beautiful! Sweeping tenicals... good color...his foot was nice and red... appeared to be healthy...

Originally Posted by Vikki7 Order of events: Purchased an Anemone on Mother's Day. He died about two weeks ago. Not sure why. He never found a comfortable place in the tank and he never planted his foot in the substrate or LR. He layed on his side most all the time and then little by little...

Originally Posted by Thomas712 To be sure he was on the way out you should have given him a little sniff, dieing anemones really stink. In my opinion he was looking fine, however when they do go down hill it happens really quickly. Sorry for the loss, if you were closer to me I'd supply a BTA...

Originally Posted by Thomas712 Is there anyway you can just use a long hose (not garden variety) and syphon the water out to the driveway? Or syphon into a bucket, then powerhead and hose it to theoutside? Then use a hose and powerhead to simply get the water up to the tank (that's how I do it)...

Originally Posted by Vikki7 Thomas, I bought a Breed N Show basket to put the Clown in. I can not get to the Anemone now.. he has moved under a rock. Do you think that is a sign that he is really stresses.... he just rolls away from the Clown. Actually, I think it may be more that the Clown is...
