Omg ( that’s on my goat for you older reefers), and your offering to buy, you are the best Luis!
 
Ugh so my son didn't pass the written test by one then I get home and my green rock flower anemone had gotten into the filter intake and sucked up into the filter and chopped up. Water was milky so I did a 50% water change and replaced the poly fill and rinsed the other ceramic media. Is there anything else I should do? I did put a sponge on the end of the tube I had taken it off last time I did a water change and forgot to put it back on. :crying-face:

I'm sorry Amanda, That's my fear with anemones.

Run carbon if you're not.

I am so sorry Amanda! Do you gave activated carbon? Keep doing waterchanges too.
 
Will it be okay to start that tomorrow I thought i had carbon here but it's at work.
Soonest you can is best. That helps remove the potential toxins.

Best to do it immediately.

One day I took this guy off a wall and put him on one of my big rocks. He sat motionless for a day then started to extremely slowly move. Third day he ate all the algae, recently put him on this rock and look at the progress. ONE SNAIL FELLAS ONE SNAIL ONE dang SNAIL
 
Okay.
Didn't mean to make you rush.
Little bit it's OK just best to do it today is all Amanda.
I made it before the store closed and now have carbon in the filter. I thought they closed at 6 that's why I was rushing but they have changed their hours to close at 7.

That's great it will help a lot. Carbon is one of those 'just in case' items I always keep in stock.
