well, i have a 55 reef. ive got 1 175 watt halide and 2 110 watt vho's. i have a cpr bak pak 2 skimmer, hot magnum filter, and a couple more powerheads. i have 2 tomatoe clowns that live in it.
when i bought this tank, it already had this anenome. it was doing ok, then GREAT for about 6 or 7 months. Then, for some reason, it started moving all over the tank after being in the same spot the whole time.he lived in a cave for a week or two and started bleaching. so i moved him and he continued to move all around. he stopped and has been deteriorating for a couple of months.
its base is white but its tentacles are still bright pink. it is still notas big as it used to be and the tentackes are pretty thin most of the time. i feed it twice a week. my water quality is good except for a nitrate problem.
i think my two clowns are annoying it. they will get to full speed and then dive in and almost beat it up! lol, they are just really rough with it. dont know if thats normal or not.
but i talked to my lfs, and he said that once they start to go downhill, its hard to bring them back, and so far hes definately right. so now im just looking at my options.
i want to get another anenome, because i think my clowns will be lonely without one. i like the color variety of carpets.
