anemone on the run

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 9:37pm CDT by xtreme

Hi

Got an anemone that was damage in transport packing and did healed properly and started to close during the day and open at lights off, did try some different lights and add more and switch on only one but still didn't worked, so I moved it to my special aquarium (aquah2o) with its standard lights, did open for the first 3 days and it starts to run to darker corners (maybe should call it RUN AWAY BRIDE, or Julia, lol).
I gave it some companions and now they are running after it (3xMaroon Clowns)
Bought it as maroon bubble tip anemone, but some time wonder if they send the correct stock.
Water conditions in the tank 99%, the 1% is the skimmer bubbles, like I mentioned it is a special tank.
This is going on for about 3 months now.

Thanks
Double blenny's ?

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 8:39pm CDT by viper357

Has anyone ever had 2 bi-colour blennie's in the same tank?

I have one in my nano and one in my 4ft, I am wanting to shut down the nano and don't really want to sell my blenny, he is such a character, so I am wondering if they will live together in my 4ft?

bicolor angel and Regal Tang

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 7:31pm CDT by Jinx

Hey all please help....I bought a Regal Tang today and my Bicolor angel is attacking him all the time.

Is it because of the similar colours of these fish?
Will it wear off at a later stage?
I do have a lot of rock and hiding places in my tank,the Regal also has white spot which I didn't notice at the time I bought him.
Newbie: Setting up from scratch

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 2:08pm CDT by jaybo32

Hi All

After introducing some recent fish to my tropical tank, every fish died, and we are quiet disappointed tbh. BUT, it does give us an oppurtunity now to try Marine, which is what we have wanted for some time.

We are total newbies to marine and i will sift through this forum hoping not to ask the same questions everyone else has asked, but its nice to discuss things so hopefully I will get lots of good advice.

I will upload some photos of my current tank size and equipment that I might be able to salvage from the tropical side of things.

Money is an issue this close to Christmas and we have lots of small fry in our family (excuse the pun), so hopefully I may be able to do this a bit cheaper with good advice.

Will upload some pics soon, thanks

New system running - life?

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 9:18am CDT by Tim S

Hi all,
My tank has been cycling for 4 weeks now and the pic's show some changes I can see. The base rock has many small knobules of maroon coloured 'things' on them. They tend to be more under the rock and not in the direct light. Can someone tell me what this is please. The dsb also seems to have worms burrowing arround. Small mounds are visible on the top. Is this OK or not? And finally the dsb has started showing black patches in the sand. I take it this is good?
Sea sand

Posted: October 3rd, 2009, 8:43am CDT by callie

Morning all. I use crush coral on the moment for gravel in tank. I was told that coral can later became a nitrate factory. So my question is, can i use sea sand for gravel after i washed it out before putting it into tank?
