Originally Posted by Paze I just picked up a H.Mag I've been asking around and I figure I could ask you aswell, how do yo feed your mag, do you just let the clkowns feed him, and what do you feed him. Mine is bleeched out pretty good I think it was due to the fact he was under 3 T8's for a long...

Originally Posted by meowzer That's pretty funny..with all the reading I have done on anemones...I have NEVER seen it said they eat copepods....Something else learned today. I am guessing that most of your anemone reading is done here, or at Karens site?

Karen has a lot of good intentions, but that site is not one that I recommend (sorry Karen). Some info is good, but much of it is not IMO/IME. Bubbles are known to split mostly from stress, and she sure has had a lot of splits. I totally disagree with her feeding habits. Silversides or any fish...

90% of the time they will climb to the highest spot in the tank is search of as much flow and lighting that they can get IME. (well.. IME, its been 100% of the time)

Originally Posted by adameczd Rod, I notice that you have had success with your anemones. I have a new tank and recently got an anemone but it doesn't seem to want to "stand up". How do you get the anemone to "stand" up or will it do it on it's own? (species of anemone would help along...

tops off IMO (not taking jumpers into effect here). the tops will block light. Especially if not cleaned everyday. They trap heat in. the prevent gas exchange>co2 build-up>lower pH>..... Temp: The average of all the tropical reefs throughout the year .. Average, throughout the year is 84.. In...

the 50 - 100 may be too small, but 100-200 might work. I never use any flake. I have used the GPs. Also liked frozen cyclope-eeze. I now use a frozen coral food that contains all sizes of GPs,, cyclops, and many other ingredients that works well for fry. Lights.. I start with a natural photo...

Thanks everyone! Originally Posted by LexLuethar Great pics, thanks for sharing! Any special treatment other than quality lighting that has helped you be successful? What are those white squares in a few of the pictures? So you have those in there just as shelving or do they provide some type...
