Anemone not eating not sticky!?

[GoReefin]

Moderate flow is fine once he is attached.
Really hard to help you further without pictures. Try and get some soon.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

I will

And what about the LED strip I mentioned?

And what about the LED strip I mentioned?

Show us pics of the set up as well.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

Yes I will try.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

And the LED?

 

[HuduVudu]

Invertebrates are moderately sensitive to low alkalinity levels.

I would check your levels.

What light are you running? Also a 5 gallon tank for 1 clown is to small, and you have 2. I really suggest doing research on tank sizes for fish you plan on purchasing.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

Here is a video of the tank.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

Yes I know it is to small but all of my water parameters are ok ammonia 0, nitrite 0, and nitrate 2 salinity 1.023 temperature 79-80 PH 8.1 calcium 425 and alkalinity 12. And I do 25 percent water changes once a week.

And for lighting I have a LED strip that came with the tank.

 

[GoReefin]

That light needs to be changed out it isn't strong enough for the anemone. Look into kessel or AI prime light.

 

[HuduVudu]

Alk 12 is not ok.

Your salinity is low for a bubble tip needs at least 1.025 preferably 1.026-7

Sorry for the shaky video I will post a better one along with some pictures.

 

[reefer024]

What light do you have? The anemone needs a light for corals to survive.

 

[GoReefin]

When you increase your salinity and decrease your alkalinity it might be best to have a friend with an established tank hold onto the anemone for a while. These drastic swings will not go well for the anemone and he will probably not survive.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

Ok I will higher the salinity to 1.025 and how do I lower the alkalinity?

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

I do not have any friends or anybody that I know have saltwater tanks.

 

[Nem1clownfish2]

And reefer024 I mentioned what light I have already.
