So one of my anenome still can’t find a place in the tank what should i do?

How old is your tank ? Looks brand new
How long has it been is your tank ?

 

[Alexusto1]

About 3 months now. Tank is in a healthy condition
Ammonia - 0.001
Ph- 8.0
it’s been open then closes and moves around and lays down had him for about 2 weeks now.

 

[James M]

Tank isn’t healthy If you have ammonia, should be at 0 all times
Nems need a tank that’s 6+ months old and really good lighting
Anyway you can sell it to the lfs, the best thing for you and the nem

 

[Alexusto1]

what is the ifs?

 

[MSB123]

Local fish store.

what is the ifs?

 

[MSB123]

I would sell it to them. That tank and light will not support the anenome

 

[Alexusto1]

btw also any suggestions for a great light ? i have a 20 gallon tank.

I wouldn’t be concerned about lighting at the moment. Is it possible to sell the nem to your lfs. We are all trying to help you out and not learn the hard way when the nem nukes the tank

 

[Alexusto1]

yeah i will take back that ben but my carpet anenome is thriving and doing well

Thriving? Picture?
A good light will cost ~$250-400.

 

[James M]

Didn’t even notice you had one... I would also do the same
The same requirements as the bubble tip. It looks light in color which means it’s beginning
to bleach because of insufficient lighting.

 

[James M]

Also the chocolate chip star isn’t reef safe and will consume coral including nems

 

[Alexusto1]

 

[James M]

Beginning to bleach. I would take it back

@ether
Don’t know how parameters are relevant in this situation. We know the problem

 

[ether]

What light is on that tank? Nem looks really bleached. What are all your paramaters? Cal/Alk/Mag/Phos/Nitrate?

 

[Alexusto1]

its a 21 watt light for a 20 gallon tank i know you need to get a minimum of 6 watts per gallon any advice on a new light for a 20 gallon?

 

[Alexusto1]

i can buy it right now if you guys have any advice on a good lighting system

 

[ether]

If youre keeping corals and nems, ai prime, Hydra 26, radion 15, kessil.

I agree with the other posters so far, but to answer your question, a Kessil 160 would probably work well.

Also, glad to see you back! We were chatting on another thread but you disappeared lol.
