So I made this post a few days ago:
“I have a Bubble Tip Rose anemone that I put in my 30g tank in the beginning of October and it’s been doing great! I went on vacation a couple weeks ago and got back last Tuesday. When I returned my tank was a out of balance. My sister over fed and everything was whacky:
Last Tuesday my parameters:
Ph 7.8
Alk 10
Phosphate 1.0
Nitrate 20
Calcium 380
Magnesium <2000
Salinity 1.025
Temp 79
I did a 10 gallon water change over a three day period and have balanced everything out and since Saturday my parameters have maintained at
PH 8.4
Alk 9
Phosphate 0
Nitrate 5
Calcium 440
Magnesium 1400
Salinity 1.024
Temp 73
From last Tuesday to Friday the BTA was moving all over the tank and I could see was splitting. As of Saturday the BTA has closed up and has maintained in the same location and barely has opened.
Here are pictures from before and after My vacation”
Then yesterday I noticed it was expelling waste and today the BTA has moved locations and is not inflated and looks as if some tentacles are missing.
I found that while I was gone my Halloween hermit crab killed my two Scarlet hermit crabs. Would this cause ammonia to rise? I do not have an ammonia test kit.
Today everything maintains at
Salinity 1.024
Temp 75
pH 8.4
KH 9
Calcium 440
Mag 1400
Phosphate >.25
Nitrate 5
