My Tank Thread
A friends bta dominated tank was doing great for years with anemones splitting and filling up.
Over course of 2-3 months a series of mishaps:
Anemones stagnating in tank water after a leak and some.dying while tank got fixed.
P up the roof
Reason was bad water used for top off and water change as per below icp of freshwater
While doing large water to try to help with phosphates
Salinity drop to around 1.023
Salinity spike to 1.029
After faulty water changes
Few anemones were also added before the issue which also is a possibility they came with something but all those anemones were in holding tank for weeks before they were added.
P is being fixed and I know it's very high but is it possible it's the only cause
Could this be a bacterial infection.
Any recommendation on treatment?
Since then all anemones are closed with short tentacles and most have died. Around 15 remaining since then but are closed and with short tentacles since weeks
