Had my first "emergency" today!

[Waters]

I had the exact same lights in my sump, and also was sticking them back on roughly 3-4 times a week lol. Fortunately mine never fell in the sump. Ended up getting stronger Velcro.

I thought about mounting it using 3M mounting tape, or possibly with screws, but I've decided I will just use a flashlight for now.

No copper present. Which is expected as I am running 200ML of carbon and changing it out weekly. Will switch to monthly after the next change.

My 25-year-old daughter put one in her 180g and it disintegrated after about 2 or 3 weeks. She saw it on Amazon and like the color of it. lol

EDIT***Perhaps I should have written may disintegrate since it was not mine but I did notice it and she removed it. It was falling apart.

In the future feel free to write that it will indeed disenengrate.

Guess my tank wasn't mature enough for an anemone.

 

[Why-Me]

Oh no!
That's a rare anemone

You guys are probably going to think I'm nuts. Ordered a few more to try them out. No way do I want to try to add anything to my tank now that I'm moving in a month, also the fact that it's too new.

Want to get that nem that's falling apart out of the water ASAP, but want my fish to be able to "hide".

Maybe one of these will hold up. Probably not, but maybe.

 

[Hemmdog]

Yes, nuts lol.

 

[Philipgonzales3]

Yes, nuts lol.

It's ok. They make medication for people like me. Haha.

 

[Hemmdog]

Lol

 

[Philipgonzales3]

Lol

They sleep in it every night so would feel kind of bad just yanking it out honestly. Maybe having more janky fake corals well help break the line of sight or whatever up a bit and give the fish more places to hide.

On the plus side when your tank is mature enough you could throw a real nem in there and I'm sure they'd have no problem letting it host them.

Yeah for sure. We'll see how they handle this swap out and then eventually I'll try it with the real thing. Fingers crossed all my fish make it that long. I'm a little worried about this aggression at the moment, but hopefully it will pass. Going to try to supervise them tomorrow and see if they can play nice together.

Just FYI finally ordered an ICP test kit.

Went with this one for now. I'll try Triton next time.

I'll report the results. I just added my first coral so hopefully the test comes back good lol.
