Originally Posted by sepulatian What are your water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, SG and temp? Obviously amm and trite need to be zero, but what is your nitrate and SG reading? These are VERY important. The nitrate should be 5 or under, SG should be 1.025, PH should be 8.2, temp at...

tank seems to be doing good..still have all the fish. I hate the plastic plants too...wanted to get some red kelp ( I think) but it was sold out. Those are leftovers from my freshwater tank. As soon as I find something else, they're gone. Any good recommendations?

He's still where I put him last night....looked like crap most of the day...all withered. Now, just like last night, just before the lights go off he looks great. I'm freaked that he'll croak and wipe out my tank (been reading anemone horror stories.) I spend alot of time perched on the floor...

I was so worried he was too far from the lights....mine aren't the brightest (neither am I apparently!) I'll learn... Little bugger is back into a ball again this am. If it's anything like the last couple days...he'll emerge all shriveled then by eveing be in full bloom again. He's making me...

No corals....just a background. Anemone is back into a ball again....

here's 2 pics...I moved my anemone closer to the light. He was at the bottom and at times looking terrible. He looks good at the moment! All fish doing well so far ( a week in.) I'm all flipped out that I've gotten in over my head... :scared:

I took some pics of my anemone in his new location...I gently picked him up and moved him. He looks soooo much better. I don't think my lights are bright enough..looking into getting a new hood for my Eclipse 29 to use better lighting (and a better skimmer!)

Sorry if this has been asked before. I have a pink tip anemone who is located at the bottom of my tank attached to a piece of LR. Once a day he shrivels up to practically nothing, sometimes completely in a ball. I always think he's dying, then later he comes out fully. He's been in there only a...

I looked and it's T8 18 watt...2 bulbs....I emailed Marineland and they said to go 20 watt.

Hi, Thanks for the info....hope I haven't rushed it..wasn't aware that you should only add one fish at a time. The fish are approx 1" in length, and look tiny in the tank. I don't plan on keeping corals. The anemone info on this website said it was peaceful and reef safe so I thought the pink...

hi....Brand new to the hobby and these boards. I've done lots of research before jumping in, but have a feeling you'll never stop learning! Here's what I have..any advice is appreciated! I have a recently cycled Eclipse 29, with live rock/live sand. There's a Berlin air-lift protein skimmer in...
