Red Sea salt is your problem! I had the same problem, tons of Phosphates and Cyno breakouts with RO/DI water! Try a new salt! HTH

In a previous tank i had with two clowns and a LTA along with Frogspawn and hammer corals. My Clowns would not host the LTA after about a month i taped a picture of clowns in an Anemone on the glass and after two days it worked!! They hosted and even started laying eggs about 3 months later...

Originally Posted by misslaina O.K., I would like to get a pair of clowns. I bought a flower rock anemone( quite big I think, green with white and red mouth), and now am thinking about pair of false percs. It seems as though maybe they wont host this anemone, and that I cant put in two...

Originally Posted by PerfectDark Anemones should be given small particles of food. While they are capable of eating large meals, the process is tiring to them. And what they would have gained from eating the meal is lost on the energy needed to consume and digest it. chopped or finely minced...

Originally Posted by FISHY7 I usually feed silversides and do not expereince this. Anemones are stickey and are able to cling on to the food. A couple of questions... 1) how long have you had this anemone. 2) Maybe it does not like what you are feeding Silversides seem way to big to give my...

Sounds good! I am feeding it about once a week because I want it to get a bit bigger. I have been just using my hands to give him a little Krill but i will give it a try with the stick! The fish dont eat the food they just seam to knock it out of the grasp of the BTA. I think its because...

Hey reefers! I have a BTA that host two Clarki Clowns, one about 1" and the other about 2" in size. Every time I try to feed my Anemone either small pices of Krill or Myssis the Clowns get in there and knock the food away from the BTA! Any suggestions on how to get the food to the BTA??

No one

I recently (about a week) added a Yellow Watchman and a Orange Pistol Shrimp to my tank and they have not met up!! What can I do to encourage the pairing? they were both acclimated and added on the same day. I see the Watchman all the time but have yet to hear or see the Pistol shrimp. Any...

cool! Thats what I have done in the past. Getting full on rock though. has anyone tried Marine Mud or something of that nature?? Dallas

Hello all, i am looking for some mini stars and other reef bugs to put into my 40 gallon tank! Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks, Dallas

Nope! I tried it in a 55, while there is enough room for the Eel they eat all of your shrimp and will make a mess with your sand and liverock. you can give it a try, but I ll say one of the hardest parts is getting him back OUT of the tank! HTH Dallas

Originally Posted by Tizzo I just reread your post. If you want your alk to be at 14 dkh, then your balanced calcium is 460 ppm. Both numbers are unnecessarily high imo. If you raise up one, the other will drop. So you must first balance them then raise them up together. But you cannot do...

I was adding buffer and had my dKH at around 14. But, I know to fix the problem I have to get my CA up and to do that I also have to get my Mg up around 1400. So I am trying to fix all three at once, if that is possible. in the tank there are LPS, soft coral, inverts, and a couple of fish...
