this was the only anem and yes, we removed it as soon as we realized it was dying

alright then, so lets spin this. knowing that we've had an established tank for close to 18 months and water params are ideal, when we get another one from the LFS that has poor water compared to ours, do we temp acclimate and go or do we drip acclimate?? Jon - i know you do a quick 1/4 cup...

ya, we've been doing regular checks on it and have no intentions of adding anything new for a few weeks to ensure we're stable here but i'm sure the firefish's death was some sort of stress - whether it from just being a lone firefish in a 75g tank or the added factor of the nem. i'm pretty...

No, we lost the fish the same night the anem went - didn't get it out quickly enough i'm thinking because the skimmer was going crazy yesterday morning and the frogspawn hasn't been looking healthy since the anem died. none of the fish were new, i just think the firefish was the most "delicate"...

actually, we stole some of Wet Pets' water and tested ourselves as well because we know they only use the strips to test. however, we were so desperate to get an answer and we figured if they can keep a nem alive only testing with strips how come we can't keep one alive with our chemical...

we drip acclimated it for 3 hours...i'm really hoping it was just a stressful move for the nem because we are at our wits end as to why this thing could keel over so quick! i ended up losing my purple firefish and i think my frogspawn is on its way out too :-( ya, we went to Wet Pets to talk...

sorry, i meant to put 8.2 - PH hasn't changed. i just tested again and the strips say the nitrates are 20, the chemical test says the nitrates are around 5. either way, we tested ALL of our stuff against the LFS (we stole some water from their anem tank) and our water tested better than theirs...

yes, it's definitely dead. pulled it to the surface and OH DID IT STINK! anyone have ANY thoughts on what could've caused this?? what are we not testing for? just did another water change and we're looking like this: nitrates 20 - probably from the stupid thing purging/dying ammonia 0 - thank...

oh ya, this thing is dying... now the question is - WHY???

i can post pics when i get home tonight. as of this morning it was most all pulled in. no change to the color of the body and no signs of deterioration as of yet

no, that's fine, i appreciate ANY insight because we seriously cannot see any reason as to why we could lose this nem. we haven't really been forcing it on to a rock, we've just been trying to keep it from being upside down. i'm hoping when i get home it'll look better but we'll see...

the tank is probably between 15-18 months old

well, my boyfriend moved it around this morning so that the foot is toward the base of the rock. he said he noticed a few tenacles on the ground and he said a few tenacles look brownish but that the nem was still stinging him a bit... could this thing really die that fast or do we still have a...

woke up this morning and the stupid thing has slid off the rock and is laying on its side completely pulled in - should i put her back on a rock?

well, it completely detached from the rock and landed face down in the sand. i was scared and flipped it over and placed it back on a lower rock and the foot stuck to it. all of the tenacles are still deflated though and it's been almost 4 hours - i'm getting really nervous!

1.024 is salinity - always forget that one...

looks like it's sliding down the rock and i'm afraid it'll end up face down in the sand - will that be a problem if it's splitting? if its upside down should i flip it back up?

we JUST got this RBTA yesterday. we drip acclimated for 3 hours. specs are as follows: nitrates 0 nitrites 0 ph 8.2 ammonia 0 calc 450 alk 10.4 phosphates 0 her foot is planted in the a rock and has been for quite some time. we have 4 54w T5's on a 75gal and a Koralia 3500g/h i came back...
