Hi,
Long time lurker here... I have a bit of a concern for my anemone which was added on saturday. I hope you can help me.
The anemone was acclimatised over 2 hour. It came on a piece of rock, so I placed the anemone at the spot I wanted it together with the rock.
All was looking good. Here is a picture of it beeing in the tank for 1.5ish hours.
1. saturday 20:11
Yesterday morning it was looking good (no pictures), but as I was passing the tank at around 12:20 it did not look so good, and things
looked worse during the day. I have tanken pictures at various intervalls. During the night it moved around 1 inch.
2. monday 12:27
At this point I thought maybe the light/flow was to much for it.. So I turned down the flow and shaded it a bit (by putting a paper sheet on top of the jumpguard
to shade it)
3. monday 12:42
4. monday 18:38
At around 19:30 it started to look better?
5. monday 19:32
6. monday 20:39
****** pictures but taken after lights out.. looking better?
7. monday 22:31
8. monday 23:13
But this morning, before lights got on.. it looked like **** again. What is going on.. is it dying? Should I take it out? What to do.. this is my first
anemone.
A little info about my tank
Tank is 6 months and 16 days
Tank: Waterbox 60.2
no3 5ppm
calsium 460
magnesium 1600 (LPS said this was of no concern)
alk 7.6
1025.1 sg
ph 8
temp 25.9c
phosphate - I see now that I have not tested for this in about 2 weeks. I run rowa and normally it always comes up as 0, so I've been slacking a bit on the testing.
Using Tropic marin pro reef salt.
Dosing small amount of Aquaforrest KH buffer (0.23ml) each 3rd day.
Other livestock doing fine;
zoas, euphyllia's, stylophora, gsp, candy cane, ricordea, snails, urchin, clowns, firefish and yellow watchman
Hope someone can tell me what is going on..
Thanks in advance
