I went into my son's room to turn on the tank light and found that one of the anemones has shriveled up, and there is a spider web like algae floating around the tank. Anyone have any insight as to what this is and why my anemone has shriveled up? The base of the anemone is fine. It seems that...

Originally Posted by JESSE! What I do is, thaw out the shrimp, then hand feed the anemone. It's somewhat a hassle but I like doing it that way. -Jesse I'm worried about getting stung. What would I have to do to NOT get stung if I hand feed them?

Originally Posted by WorrBaller That is how most have them set up. Except remove the bioballs and do a mini fuge. Check this out for an idea Also just a side comment, you don't really need the skimmer on nano tanks. Water changes are much better. Skimmers remove the dissolved organics in the...

I have had my Nano running for about a month now. All that I have in the tank as of now are Live Sand, Live Rock, and a Clean-Up Crew. I set up my filter by the manufactures specs: Chamber 1: Protein Scimmer Chamber 2: Polishing Media, Carbon Pellets, Bio-Balls Chamber 3: Heater and Out-Take...

Ok, now how long after that should I wait before adding fish to the tank. I was just going to add a cleaning crew, and a couple of clowns

I bought a Nano Cube DX 12 about a week ago. Last night I mixed 15 gallons of water using Instant Ocean. This morning I added the water to the tank along with 20lbs of live sand. I now have a salinity of 1.022. How long should I wait before adding live rock to the tank?
