well i just took a few new pics, but my comp is reading my camera.... here's an old pic, before i took the xenia out. i just have the lights and filter that came w/ the tank, 4 mushrooms, 1 ocellaris clownfish (who's pretty camera shy), 1 skunk cleaner shrimp, and 2 hermit crabs. not sure exactly how much lr....
i know it's pretty bare, i wanted to keep it simple since i have to move it like 12 + more times :scared:

What is your tank height? Anemones need a lot of light. 65watts wuldnt be enough. Ive heard some people have kept with 90watts of light with a depth of only 12inch. But usually the watts per gallon rule for anemones is at least 5watts per gallon. I have 7 watts per gallon in my tank.

ive had my bubble for a while probly 5 months and i only have 32 watts in a 7 gallon but its about 6 inches from the surface. and i regualarly feed it with freeze dried krill
i did have a problem with two anenomes before though.
i had a green bubble tip that got caught in my filter twice and then before i went home for the weekend it wasnt looking to good so i pulled it out and threw it away because i didnt want to come home to a dead tank
the other anenome problem followed after this becuase i wanted a home for my perc so i got a carpet.... not a good idea way to small of a tank. the tenticles started to rot off after 3 weeks so i got rid of that as well now all i have is the small rose bubble and its been doing great

well all i did was cut the xenia off, a tiny little bit has started growing back, but the light on my tank isn't very strong, so it's super slow. i had some on a shell that i cut down and we stuck it in my friend amanda's tank that is growing better, her light is slightly stronger...
anyways, i cut them all off because they were dying... i left my tank alone for about 4 days in my dorm room and it got too hot. way too hot. i lost probably 3/4 of a gal of water out of 5 gal total, so my salinity shot way up. apparently either my RA or campus ops came in my room after my roommate and i had both left and shut off the fans that we had on, so it got super warm in the room and the tank. i think when i came in and checked on it on day 2 the temp was up from 79 to at least 85 degrees.
so should have tried to get money out of the school for my damaged property....lol. my mom paid $40 for one piece of xenia, so 40 times however many stalks were in there.....lol. oh well.
