    It was advertised as a white sebae. It actually has a greenish tinti to it with purply-bluish tipped tenticles.. I hope he gets better if he is bleached.. I dont have a camera anymore so i cant get a pic of it..

    Seabae Anemone

    Originally posted by Thomas712 Is the foot actuall stuck to the glass? What substrate do you have? Give it some time for the sebae to get used to your tank. After a couple of weeks you might try changing your water current around, this might make him move to find a better spot. At this point...

    How many ppl use tap water?

    Tap water for me.. i kill all the crap in it with AmQuel+ and top off about every two days.. /Ranton I will probably continue to use tap water for the fact that ten years ago reef tanks and such didnt have ro/di water available... and they had some gorgeous looking tanks.. /Rantoff :)

    Algea problem!

    1. is the bulb older than 6-9 months? 2. Have you disturbed anything? added sand, removed coral? 3. Possible re-cycle due to loss of anemone? (a smaller cycle is common with the loss of large wildlife) 4. "phos-ban" will help remove any phosphates.. if you have them... Bubbles are purely...

Ammo~ 0 Nitrites~ 0 Nitrates~ <10 It's...

    HUGE tank issues and 2 orders on their way

    No skewing that im aware of... Just that it directly attacks the ammo and such.. It will drop all three critical levels at once.. most times a 1/4 to half of the recommended dosage is extremely usefull.. as the full dosage removes full points of ammo and nitrates and such and the most problems...

    Personal preference i guess.. i have heard good and bad about rio... ionno.. And if yo go with several smaller ones then you can control the aim and direction of the flow easier.. Again, i think it would come down to personal preference..
