yeah thats what i hear....any recomendations for skimmers for a 55g?

agreed....my story with my 30g is similar to yours....everything grows liek crazy...under pc lights with no skimmer...do you run a skimmer? how much good stuff do you suppose skimmers are taking out of your water? i end up doing about 15%-20% water changes weekly though...

i have had a 30g up and running skimmerless for about a year and a half...the tank is doing great! i have never done anything to the tank other than water changes on a weekly basis.... now i have set up a 55g which currently is skimmerless as well...we plan on adding one soon though....first of...

good luck even finding a cleaner clam in your tank to feed it...usually they will bury themselves in substrate and you will forget about them until your parameter start climbing due to a dead clam decaying

what is the temperature danger zone in salt water tanks? if the temp is in fact getting up to 84 degrees or so...is that really a problem? or is it temperatures higher than that that really aggrevate stuff?

the update on the purple anemone is that it dead today...and what a mess that is.....I noticed that other carpet anemones have a white base, the purple had a blueish/green base, which makes me think it could possibly been dying when purchased....It that possible and what is the normal base color...

wanted to also add: the anemone still has its stickiness, this is good right? if he were nearly dead wouldn't he have lost this?

water conditions had been stable for three to four weeks before we added the anemone.... the anemone is either spitting out or shedding white clumps of stuff that resemble chewed up shrimp kind of....

yeah the tank has been cycled for about a month now....

for like four days....

yah....

we havent really fed it anything, tried feeding it some shrimp and it didn't eat it....
