I just installed the air bubbler I got for the aquarium and it’s really aerating the tank very nicely

I could get it tested for those but I don’t think it is necessary I have never used metal or copper in my tank and yes I only use RODI that I get from my LFS

You used tap water in the past which may have brought metals into your system. Inverts are very sensitive to cover and other metals. They sell filter pads that absorb metals. Typicly they change color depending on the metal present. Sorry I can not recall the name at the moment.

Thankyou for the suggestion I am using activated carbon at the moment and I have been for a while. I actually originally got to absorb metals and such so I don’t believe their our any in my tank at the moment

I have not read the whole thread. That said I don't know why you added a bubbler. They should not be needed in most cases and will cause salt spray to get on everything close by. If you felt you needed adtional oxygen, pointing a power head so is just disturbed the surface of the water should be enough in most casses.

Poly Filter is what you want. Carbon will not work nearly as well.

Poly filter?

When you do get an anemone....

Don't buy one from your local fish store because you think it's pretty and affordable. I wasn't joking when I quoted @Spare time .

Home born bta are very resilient. The lfs is likely to sell wild caught bta. They often need special care and medicines.

I was trying to trouble shoot your issues so you could get a clean up crew to help with algae.

I had one for a while and it did i great and I have a lid over my tank so it never sprays I will be getting a power head but it is taking a long time to get here and the bubbler is temporarily

Yes I wasn’t planning on getting one from my LFS trust last time it didn’t go well. I am planning on ordering from live aquaria I specialize on freshwater tanks and have been keeping and breeding freshwater fish for almost 20 years and I get most of my fish from thier and they are a dream plus they have super healthy bts’s with great reviews
