[teamsleep]

I just bought a bubble tip anenome and I have had it in my tank for about 3 hours now and my clown fish hasnt even gone near it... I am afriad it wont host it? What should I do?

It will also take some time for your anemone to adjust. Give it a good week or so to find it's favorite resting place. Then put a picture of a fish near the anemone and see what happens.

alright that was actually my next question... the anenome hasnt attached to anything yet... it is kinda just chilling at the bottom. Is that normal?

 

[michaeltx]

it can be some take a few days to find the spot is right for it.
what are you tank readings at just to make sure there isnt soemthing else there.

everything is zeroed out and my PH is at 8.4. I also have been adding the marine and reef Kent supplements.

How many watts of light do you have?

 

[michaeltx]

better to ask what kind of light and what bulbs are you running?
you can have 500 watts of normal light on a tank but it wont do much for the corals.

I have the Coralife Lunar Aqualights Compact Fluorescent Strip Lights. Which is 260 watt (4-65 watt) I believe?
