I sold my house and had to move my tank I filmed the breakdown but not the actual move. I did plan to show it set up at the end but I didn’t get a chance and the uk went in to lockdown before editing this video so it ends a little abruptly. Hopefully I can bring you a video after this is over so we can catch up with my reef tank.

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 Год назад

      There are some anemones from some Oceans that are not very suitable for home aquarium so if the animals you are buying are of this type that could be your issue. I’m sorry I can’t remember what oceans this refers to exactly as it was a long time ago so some research into this may help. This also applies to species some anemone are much better at surviving in aquariums and others don’t do well. Plus some animals in the shops aren’t always in the best health and could be already close to death and often moving it to another environment finishes it off. My advice is to always buy animals that are captive bread for the best chance of success these are already used to aquarium life and generally harder. If you are confident the anemone you are buying are healthy then you need to look at your acclimatisation techniques and aquarium conditions Although you parameters may seem within acceptable levels there may be contamination in your tank that affects inverts specifically like copper or aluminium for example there are many elements that can be in the water that we don’t test for that can cause us issues. In this instance doing a series of water changes and running activated carbon could also help to resolve the problems your experiencing. Hope this is of some help and you have success keeping anemone going forward as they are a wonderful addition to a reef tank.

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 Год назад

      Hi thanks for you kind words From what you describe it sounds like the light is a bit strong for them It can be hard to satisfy all your corals/inverters in what is a relatively small depth of water creating some shade with an overhang can help to prevent this to much light reaching them. Or if you can reduce the light level a little over time to see how the tank inhabitants react. Hope this helps and glad you enjoyed my video 👍🏻

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 Год назад

      Hi congrats on setting up your tank. I find it best to get fish that don’t compete for space so fish that will occupy the sand bed, the rocks, the central water column and those that like it closer to the top. I personally like the smaller fish like gobies and blennys but have a read up on any you like the look of as some are more likely to become a pain for one reason or another although there are no guarantees. Also fire fish are great but they can jump out if you don’t have a cover and they can pick on each other so need to be in more than just a pair. I always say what ever catches your eye read up on and make a decision on wether you think it will be happy in your tank based on the other fish you have or want to add and the size and layout of your tank. But in many cases these rules are a guide and there will be different opinion’s on that is ok based on their own experience. I Hope this is helpful and I hope your tank brings you many hours of joy.

      Not that I could tell for sure but it always grows back as the tiniest remnants will regrow I found that not a scrubbing it off and letting it grow it would clump up and break off and float around the tank and eventually end up growing in other areas anyway. The best solution is if possible removing the affected rock and scrubbing outside the tank and rinsing off before putting back.

    Hi, can you have an anemone with other fish in the tank with it? I know that they can eat fish but would the fish know and stay away from it? How does that work?

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 Год назад

      You can have fish and they do know to stay ways unless it’s a carpet anemone and they can be good at eating you fish Bubble tips are usually the safe bet and if you do see a fish getting eaten by one of these it’s usually a case of poorly or dead fish ending up in it rather than being killed by it. Also some fish and shrimp will be hosted by nems so if you get some clowns fish there is a good chance the will live in it.

      That’s a sad story for sure. I think this issue is more so with particular types of Nem I have had a few bubble tips die over the years and know of many others that have had them die without issue. It may also have something to do with the size of the tank in comparison to the the Nem and also some tanks run on the brink of a crash and any issue can be enough to tip the balance. But as you say it is a risk like adding many other invertebrates to the tank and worth contemplating before introducing one. Thanks for your comment it may help others to make a more informed choose for there tank.

    Best way which worked for me was to set up a small nano tank just for anemone and two clown fish with just one live rock good enough size for anemone to settle on and I use to just feed my anemone every second day and clownfish started to pick food out of anemone’s tentacles and started hosting. It took me 10 days but it worked and make sure you switch off power heads etc so there is no flow in the tank whilst you feed your anemone :) good luck!

      The first sign is whit lumps appear on the leaves and if that happens just pull out affected plants if you don’t spot this then next it will eject all its cells so it goes pale and looks like it’s dying. But as mentioned in the video if you separate it up into many individual plants it doesn’t seem to happen to all at the same time so even if you miss the event it shouldn’t be enough to harm the tank but trimming regularly and lighting 24hrs will also help stop this happening

      This can work well to allow the anemone to settle before adding the corals however in practice this doesn’t always work out as at any point the anemone can start to move around sometimes months after staying put and appearing settled so this isn’t guaranteed to avoid issues.

      With GSP I found the best way was to use some long tweezers and you can often peel it off the rocks it doesn’t always come off in one piece so it can be a bit tedious but with some perseverance you can pick it off.

    Can somebody please give me a little bit of information I have a tank with 2 clowns and I would like to get an anemone but it has a cover with only a white LED light I think it’s around 1000 K would that be good enough for anonymity or do I need an RGB light

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 2 года назад

      The k value isn’t necessarily your issue it will be a mater of par intensity and wether there will be enough to provide sufficient energy to sustain the Nem You can feel the Nem regularly to help sustain it but without sufficient light of the right spectrum and intensity you will likely not achieve the colour and overall health that is required for long term success. My advice is if your serious about having a Nem get a full spectrum light to give yourself the best chance of success and then there is nothing to stop you getting a few corals for your tank as well.

      I second the gobies they are great little fish for a small tank I like ranford gobies and you can quite often get them in pairs.

      It can take a while for them to adjust and attach but a long tentacle usually berries it’s foot into the sand and onto a hard surface so if your trying to get it to attach directly onto the rocks it might not be happy.

      I would just let it adjust to the tank and give it time if it’s mouth starts gaping and it deflates then it’s not very happy but leave it be and keep an eye on it.

    Love the video. How much are you supposed to dose? For example I have 55 total gallons. Do I also turn off the skimmer?

    • @raisingreef339
      @raisingreef339 2 года назад

      It’s hard to say as the amount of cells in any given measurement of liquid will differ from one culture to another so I always tell people to dose a bit every day and slowly increase the dose and see if you notice any changes (benefits) and work it out for yourself over time biased on how you culture the phyto. I didn’t used to turn off my skimmer but it wouldn’t hurt to reduce the chance of it getting skimmed out I used to just dose it into the display tank directly and not worry to much about what ended up going into the sump. Glad you liked the video Hope this helps

    I just tore my tank apart and am systematically removing with any manual means possible. I am a month in and have almost defeated the buggers! I probably have a month to completely eradicate . If you can - never let these in your aquarium!
