Hey dude what happen to 2nd that you just got recently? Don't tell it did died again :( those retteri dude I'd used to have those anemone 2 yrs ago you should see it almost half of my 35g tank covered with these gigantic retteri amazing it was hosted of 4 clowns:) I'd sold for 150$ one of our fellow co-ovas. I've got this anemone from OI when pat still live here in Ottawa I've kept it a year didn't even split but so huge yellow tip & purple base. Retti it moves a lot though you need a space for this anemone, if you get the healthy 1 oh dude for sure this is gonna beuatifull anemone for your tank & goodluck finding 1, I know mscape always carries these type of anemone or az too.

as u said, it moved a lot and then sliced itself up after wonderin into a powerhead

and seemingly ritteri doesnt split well. im quarantinin the big chuck left from slicin but the opportunity seems slim to grow back

MJChang

theres still plenty of cyano on the back but on sides the situations improvin







the table coral hostin a crab and two shrimps



the rainbow stylo needs colorin up

i didn't put it in for a while

i used to have 3 6055's 1 6025 and 1 6045

well, the wave was probably too strong it probably contributed to the rtn i suffered

so i decided to make more natural waves, addin the wavebox while takin out 5025 and 6045 i changed the frequency of the 6055's too

now it looed btetter

MJChang

and the elegance is so big i necessarily reaquascaped

sump is too small 8) very compact design

kole18

I was going to ask about that too xenon the heater in his tank isn't supposed to be we're place in your sump & if your sump is too small bro needs to upgrade :)

im savin to upgrade in 4 yrs

gonna set up probably 60*35 dt with a zeovit sump--could still be small, just heaters, probably a chiller, zeolite reactor and skimmer

i'd like give a shot to the plasma lightin. it seems cool on my friend's tank. its probably much cheaper in yrs to come

i guess zeovit system is still my preference

Hookup


MJChang

The malue anemone removed to the back of rockwork

I've got a lemonade rbta

latest pix



thought it would stay in the rock crevice i'd arranged but it stuck to the rock

not full opened. probably it'll be movin this night





the elegance, really huge
