Good ol optomistic sammy..... J/K I know he's being realistic. Do your best. You know what to try to do to feed them. Maybe if you tried hard. Try this. Get a syringe and mix the phyto and zoo in a little water. Then gently spray it at the colony so it gets first dibs. This will release...

Novice whats wrong with the big angels,triggers,and puffers? They pick on sharks? What about a school of lookdowns?

Thankgod4fish KH is only applicable in maintaining a stable ph. You do have to raise the ph on your own. Once it gets there the kh will help keep it there.... I think :).....

Hmmm. Thats so weird. He shouldn't be doing it. I wonder if the tang has a taste for the zooxanthellae in the brain..... Can you move either to another tank? Maybe seperating them for a time so the brain can heal may help. Try another thread again. Maybe someone else ahs a thought. Name...

Interesting. The most beautiful anemone i've ever seen was a blue tentacle anemone. Had a pinkish/reddish base like the purple tentacled ones and the blue went from a very light blue to a neony bright blue at the tips. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous. The lady who bought it was a regular and knew...

How many "nips" are there? A bunch or just one spot?

Wow. My guess it they are so easy to get since they are free form and usually not attatched to rockwork? Is that right? Makes no sense to sell something that dies. I have to wonder why they get them in. I know half of them die in their tanks. They must be getting a great "deal" on them if...

Weird no its not normal. They are completely reef safe. There must be something there he likes. Food ending up there? Did you add the tang or brain first? Maybe he doesn't like the brain in that spot?

WAY MORE than plenty. Thats perfect. I keep a red/green brain under 30 watts of flourescents. Wish i could show you before and after pics... EDIT: you have enough lighting for anything cept sps and even then you have enough for some species. But stick to the easy stuff till you get used to...

YOu paid 30 for the sixline? they are no more than 20 here.... Strange.... Bubbles are realatively easy to keep anything messing with it? How long have you had it? What light and place in the tank. I do know they don't need super amounts of light, and not alot of water flow.

Hmmm. Water flow? Any phyto or zooplankton?

Thanks SPS i was told that by somebody else about the Iodine. I kind of figured. I won't buy another bottle of TECH I for sure. Thats a shame about the goni's.... The new lfs here has i think 4 or 5 for sale right now. They are super pretty but as sammy said impossible to keep right now...

Actually its probably a torch. I jsut call it a frog. A Euphyllia glabrescens or very close to it.... EDIT:nothing special you do for it? I do like anemones but like i said am paranoid.... And they smell god awful when they die...

And OH HOW do you keep YOURS alive ??? :) I'm so paranoid of trying to keep one from what i've seen and heard.... EDIT: i'm tryin frogspawns for mine. He sometimes sticks his head in. Its funny....

If you can move the rock work around some that may help. Change up the enverionment. Try and keep the anemone in the same place though. They don't like to be moved which is the issue here...... Thats about all you can do. Your tank is quite large. Give them some time they will sort it out...

No its not crazy. You could try just adding the rock next time. Especially if it doesn't smell. You just may be dealing with some sort of invert that survived.... And the rock will become live over time. Ive done it before. Youd never know a couple pieces i have were once barren.

Is that a carpet anemone? How long have you had?

One more thing. If you like sand go more. If you like semishallow go less. I would get about 3 inches at least to help stabalize the rock you put in. Keep in mind fish love to dig and move sand so it may bunch up in places. Same thing when yo ustart running powerheads....

:) I like only about 3 or 4 inches myself.

I shee I shee, me not having a problem EVER with algae :) I think it starts with with thos initial conditions anyways. I do know ALOT of people run into it by overfeeding and no clean up crew. Time and again that was the culprit with saltwater. They may not think they are though..... YAY 900!
