Anemones ... high nitrate
Posted: July 13th, 2010, 1:55pm CDT by badbiker
From all the threads in most of the forum are mentioned that the anemones shall be kept in low nitrate and matured water. Last month I was monitoring 2 anemones from LFS. yesterday I bought both of them. So I thought I will test LFSs water actually I was looking what nitrate level they maintain. so I did the test and the result was surprising >>>>>nitrate was 100mg/l <<<<<<<<

My Q for Experts
How did anemones survived in very high nitrate water for more than 1 month and they are in good health ??
