I've ran a protein skimmer for years and I've just recently decided to go without one on my Nuvo fusion 20. I know plenty of people who don't run anything except for a media reactor with gfo and carbon. Their tanks are amazing. All I'm running is a media reactor with gfo and carbon as well. Things seem to be going pretty well.

So after I've had the anemone for about 2 months, tank is now probably 4 months old now.
About a month ago a rock in the tank got hit by the algae cleaner on the glass and I had to rearrange it. The anemone did not like this and decided to move... Which isnt an issue to me. The issue is that the anemone used to look like:  and now looks like: Post image soon but basically it is maybe 1/4 the size and no bubbles. it has not lost its color and does encapsulate itself at night and opens when the lights turn back on... I check the water every water change so every 2 weeks and nothing has spiked. Should I be feeding this thing directly. The odd thing is we did loose a cleaner shrimp 2 weeks ago which i'm surprised over as those thing I though were supposed to be hearty. I immediately tested the water and did not find anything wrong... |

One thing i did change was the lighting. I went with an elive LED system and added 2 blue modules to the tank, 2 right overtop of the anemone.
I also switched salt from Fluval sea pro to instant ocean Reef Crystals (orange container). This was before the sea anemone. |

Unfortunately the anemone died... Cant find it anywhere in the tank...
my fish died, and most of my invertebrates died... Checked the water and nothing, took it to the LFS and they couldnt find anything either... I left the tank for about 2 months and just kept up with water changes... My torch coral survived. My turbo snail also survived. I just added a cleanup crew.. we will see how it goes... I am only using 1 filter sock. On the other side using filter floss with carbon and the green stuff... Got rid of the media reactor... Should I put it back? Went back to original lighting that came with the Nuvo 20... We will wait and see how it goes... If all survives in the next two weeks I will add some fish... If they survive add some easier corals.. |

A Vortech MP10 would treat you well in that tank. Or you could get a Jebao for cheaper but they are known to crap out pretty regularly...
