Mike's Red Sea Reefer 525 XL build

[dbl]

Hahahaha....I'm trying this now!

Experiment commence!

I would say your waisting your time. My daughters would say prop the screen right against the glass. You may be better off listening to them...lol.

Ah, yeah, probably true. when tank is running well, need things to keep me occupied so I don't mess with it.

I get the BTAs, but I am shocked they have not gone into the Magnifica. I think since they had a spot before you added it, shaking them up a bit as @SkiCatTX said may help. Put them in an acclimation box for a couple of days, or rearrange some of the rockwork perhaps.

I just took mine down last night. The clowns moved to the other side of the tank. I guess they don’t like the videos!

I thought they would dive right in as well. Their “corner spot” is literally inches away from the Magnifica.

I like the idea of putting them in the acclimation box for a while and reintroducing.

I may even try “Melev’s tube” to reintroduce.

I think I will try to catch them Saturday morning.

I have great respect for Melev and have learned a lot from him. I never liked the tube idea though. Dropping fish into a venomous creature seems dicey. I have watched clowns acclimate to an anemone and it can often be a slow process. When I had a Clarkii / Magnifica the Clarkii went in very slow, tail first and repeatedly stung himself a little more each time until he was finally nuzzling it.

I agree plopping them in would not be nice to do. The video I saw had the tube right at the nem. Perhaps I could hover the tube over the nem and give the clown a choice?

Am I being desperate here?

I’m all for trying things and learning.

And if it don’t work, maybe I will try more clowns!

I've given up on my davinci and snowflake hosting my bta. They sleep 10 inches away instead.

Been contemplating a porcelain crab to keep the nem company. We'll see

My porcelain crab is on of my favorite inverts. Always visible. I’m going to get an anemone shrimp that I will introduce to the LTA and I’m still trying to find out if sexy shrimp will live in a RFA.

Lemme stop the internet grammar and correctness bus before it runs me over...

"My clowns are not interested in being hosting by my bta"

Phew close one there.;Troll
