No more anemones ~ maybe?

I'm sorry to say that I have been thinking about getting rid of my anemones. Seems my mind has just gotten tired of having so many anemones in my tanks, or I'm just tired of having Bubble tip anemones.
After raising them for 5.5 years I think I'm ready to move on and develope my reef into something different.
Part of my brain however says that I should keep them or one, they have done so well for me that it is hard to part with them.
I consider 5.5 years pretty sucessful though, proof that I can do it. But now, maybe, something different.
Anyone have any thoughts about my thoughts? Should I move on and try something different or keep the little tribbles?

Wow 5.5 years is a long time....hats off to you! That is a profound statement in it's self most people don't exhibit that kind of husbandry, the kind it takes to be successful at keeping them healthy that long!
Which ever way you decide to go...only one thing could be said.... Good Job!!

Ok, nice vent there. I'd keep at least one Thomas, but I totally understand you wanting to do the big pretty reef thing since anemones do take up a good chunk of space.
Ya gotta keep one though.... just one tiny teeny one?

I say KEEP THEM!!! :jumping: You need to start another tank. A 210 reef would be nice then you could have your reef and your anenomes. Thomas without anenomes is like cookies without milk!!

Thomas, sorry to hear you're thinking about getting rid of the BTA's.
I had no idea you had been keeping them for 5+ years though.

So what do you have lined up for the next endevour?
Thomas, I have to ask, how long have you been in the hobby?

Been thinking about doing more zoanthids, perhaps a clam, might even try some more stonies.
I think I got into this hobby from freshwater to salt about 1986 or so, so its been a few years.
I've been through undergravel filters, crushed coral, canister filters, sumps, refugiums, SSB, DSB, fish only, fowler, reef, pumps, pumps and more pumps...
I have a 90 gallon tank, 55 gallon refugium. 10 gallon hospital tank,. an empty 55 gallon, 29 gallon. The 29 is used for water changes.
I haven't done anything about the anemoens yet might wait till spring, but I'm still looking at them thinking they have to go now. I started with one in the 55 with crushed coral and almost killed it, upgraded lighting, and it grew and split, split again, upgraded tanks and they multiplyed like rabbits. I must have 30 if not more now and I've been taking them down to the LFS and selling them right along through the years.
I don't like to ship them.
