I've read that your classic green bubbletip anemone like moderate water flow and bright lights. But mine constantly moves itself into one of my caves, so he's hardly getting any light, and the rock he's stuck to blocks what little waterflow actually goes through that cave. He's perfectly happy...

Sounds like the same setup I have except I have a 180 and two overflows, hence two sock filters which I hate. They clog every 3 days. Anyway, the protein skimmer you have to tweak a little at a time. Literally a nudge this way or that. It's a major pain but once you get it tuned it's almost as...

I don't see mine splitting. I just see new mushrooms popping up in different parts of my tank. Always a thrill to move a small rock and find a large, bright green mushroom I never expected to find.

No, it was sold and they haven't gotten in any more so far.

Thank you!

Kristin, I had terrible luck with my tank at first, and I've been doing this for 40 years. I think the oceans are getting so polluted that fish behavior and survival rates are a lot different than in the 70's-80's. What size/type of tank do you have? btw tomorrow I'm going to shoot some video...

Pretty sure she meant my sponges, trigger40. Well, oddly enough I never looked into that until I saw your post, Kristin. It seems they are very difficult to keep, but I've had mine for months, I'm constantly grabbing them and replanting them, one time one of them actually popped out of the...

Thanks. I actually had it better, but the LFS guy messed up the rock work when taking out the Queen. I just fixed it today, looks MUCH better. The tall red tube believe it or not is a live sponge. I have 3 in the tank. They're called Red Tree Sponges. They're cheap, too, only $20.00, any size...

It's probably gonna take longer than a few days. I'll include a video I shot of him yesterday. But he eats like a pig, but only mysis shrimp (with vitamins soaked in). With the other queen gone (the new one is smaller and passive) his environment is stress free. And my water quality, as always...

He's doing fine. Great eater. My old Queen Angel terrorized him but he still ate. Finally removed the Queen. The Blue Face is a big ragged but still eating and swimming around. Can't wait for him to heal. It's his tank now. Anybody know how long it takes for moderate fin damage to heal and if...

Maybe I should have kept my other Queen Angel and rented him out to people with E.G. problems ;-) I really didn't to anything to make him stop. He just stopped for some reason.

They didn't lie but they deceived me. They know full well that I'm a maniac when it comes to water clarity. I had just gotten my tank perfect when they talked me into introducing this thing into my tank. When they did the install they didn't rinse the substrate at all. Every little thing would...

Remember I said they go from great to f'd up? Well, I gotta admit they have great prices. Better than online. I ran into most of my problems by assuming they're the "experts". Once I stopped asking them for advice and stuck to my instincts I did a lot better. For instance when they talked me...

I was actually there today (it's only a 15 minute drive, I'm there almost every day since my son and I walk the entire shopping complex) but he wasn't there. I'll be back tomorrow. Believe me when I tell you, when I'm wronged I just go nuts. But if I get banned again I have no place else to go...

Oh I've already been banned once. Unfortunately for them, it was still during my 30 day return period so I told them fine, get over here and rip this crap out right now and give me my money back. That changed their tune. But what happened Monday has me thisclose to really blowing my top. I'll...

Thanks. I find it interesting that the anemone always seems to seek out shade, though. Normal?

Your sphincter would have sealed shut after what happened to my tank a few months ago. I had it stocked exactly how I wanted it. Everything was great. Then suddenly they started dying one and two at a time, almost always overnight. Going from perfectly healthy, eating and swimming, to dead. The...

Oh, I sleep just fine. They're only mushrooms!

No. I have a love-hate relationship with my LFS. Sometimes they do right by me, sometimes they really try to screw me, but they're the only game in town. One of the nice things they did was to tell me that a chocolate chip star would kill my mushrooms. One of the f'd up things they've tried to...

Actually I just tore down and redid my aquascaping and spring cleaned last week. Today's tear down by the LFS guy was twice now. I really don't want to put my fish through another catastrophic disruption. I can basically see inside both rock formations and I don't see it anywhere and there's no...
