I got my rbta about 3 weeks ago. I am running leds and turned the blues down to about 30% and the whites down to about 20% for the first week. The anemone came out right away and has been out ever since. Week 2, I slowly began upping the lighting back to regular settings and all seems good.

It's not the canister filter. There is never any food in the filter when I clean it (I clean it every week). I got the nitrates to drop to 2-5ppm but when I started feeding the corals again with BRS Reef Flakes and KZ Coral Vitalizer it went up to 20 - 50ppm again. That tells me that my nutrient export is inefficient meaning I do not have a very strong bacteria population. I started vodka dosing now to counter this. This is the only way to control nutrients with a sumpless setup. I thought about getting a bigger skimmer but there aren't that many I can use. My aquarium is covered in bamboo and has a wooden rim. I cannot use any hang-on equipment. I'd need to build something so I can hang the skimmer inside the aquarium. I also switched to T5 lighting and that was one of the best decisions I've made so far. The anemone is doing way better and it moved to a spot where I can see it. It seems like it hates medium-high flow as it moved when I changed the flow pattern. It got blown around quite a bit and I think that made it move. |
