My heater was in the sump. The temps dropped below 0 so the difference between temps of the tank and sump was nearly 8degrees at one point it caused a crash... BroncosZOA helped me big time

Well my Japanese led died on me... Fortunately I still have the LEDs marineland donated after the storm. I know they get a bad rap but they're lighting the tank just fine for me. In fact they're brighter than the old light. I'm going to document my growth from here

do you have a sump for this tank? if so try putting the heater in there. This tank also looks like it needs more live rock :)

i definately need more live rock!!! lol and yes i have a sump but with this winter we had temps in the negatives it caused a major difference in temps between the sump and the tank which caused a crash which led to the loss of many of my corals.. i'll stare at an ugly heater knowing my tank is stable :)

In my opinion I think your anemone is starving. The tentacles looks stubbier than before and the mouth does not look tight. you might want to look into that.
