We can just bring in our own, like any other good smuggler.

Red Rose Bubble Tip anemones and others
mobert:
I was interested in your anemones. What different kinds and how many of each. I just added a brown and green bubble tip to go with my red rose bubble tip. All on the right side of my five foot 120 tank. I gave the red rose bubble tip the first 20 inches of the right side of the tank except for live rock. The pair of Tomato Clowns have started hosting in the two new anemones. I have a blue/white long tentacled anemone about a foot in from the left side between the substrate and a the base of a large rock. It has two Clarkii Clowns hosting it. Now room for any more anemones on the left side. Finsky |

Are you wondering how many anemones you can have in your tank and what kind? With your lighting I would stick with what you have and if they do well, you will have more than you can count. (I can't count how many I have). All my anemones are from mostly one Rose and one Green BTA. (I have added one additional Rose years later and a Magnifica anemone). I did have a long tentacle anemone that was thriving but for some unknown reason, it shrunk away as the BTA's were multiplying. Keep an eye on those clowns. They are both very aggressive and may start fighting as they mature. |

I have a green flowerpot goniopora in the front center substrate which has started to fully open today after I added two 175 gph penguin powerheads with sponge prefilters in the left front corner and right front corner with flow facing up to the surface at the center of the tank. I have two Hagen 110 power filters on each side and two Rena XP4's with both outputs in the upper left coner facing along the back and the other toward the front center. I have a Seio 2600 in the back left at a 45 degree angel behind the live rock which starts near the front and rises to 12 inches below the surface of the 27 inch high tank. The right back corner has a Seio 1100 facing at a 45 degree angel along the back of the tank. My new green is in the upper right back corner and is opening to four to five inches. I also have a brown BTA which is a slow starter and has managed to only expand to about one to one and a half inches. My main questions is do I purchase one of the new 8 Magnum 3,250 gph 19 4-1/4" x 6-1/2" 220-360 gallons water pump to put in the upper right front end of the tank and aim straight across the upper front of the tank for more circulation for the fish. I have also thought I could aim it from the upper right front end to directly horizontally across to the back right corner. Or the third choice is not to buy a new pump at all. What are you thoughts on more circulation (specifically with the Hydor) in the upper part of the tank in addition to what I have?

Hi Finsky, Hard to say without seeing your tank but did you see this link earlier? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NFO4DwEkkr0 It was after I had moved my powerheads around such that there is less water movement above the BTA in the video than before. They seem to be expanding more and getting stringier. I have found that most of the animals like lots of flow. If at first they look blown around, after a few days, they seem to adapt. Here is the tank with more current: So, you can compare how the current is in your tank vs. the above videos to decide if you want more current. |

I think I am going to five the Hydor a chance. My tank is looking a little to sedate at this time.

Great video! What a paradise for the clownfish. Do they host the green anemones? They really seem to love the red nems.

I had referenced your wonderful webpage on sumps: http://www.melevsreef.com/allmysumps.html to answer a viewer question, and then a few days later, my answer disappeared. I wonder if I broke some YouTube rule. I had bookmarked your website when I first got into the hobby and I learned so much from it and wanted to share. So if it is ok, I want to post the link to your site map as I think it is chock full of valuable accurate information that one can spend hours learning: http://www.melevsreef.com/links.html Quote:
Stay tuned for a HD video taken by a professional with a real camera! Glad you enjoyed the soundtrack. It is music used at the Monterey Bay Aquarium created by Douglas Morton: http://www.quparts.com/cgi-bin/cp-ap...=cat&ref=music Quote:
love love love my iPhone. It has a direct to YouTube option but the compression and lack of sound track makes the iphone to computer upload better. I had refused to swallow the apple pill for so long. I was sad that my Android phone couldn't make a phone call from home but now I am thrilled with the iPhone. Quote:

I'm kind of envious of your new phone. I have the 3G myself, which I bought in January. I'll have to wait a bit to upgrade mine. My mother just bought the 3G S, of course. |

Duplicate from my other thread but I wanted to share over here...
thanks for the remarks folks! Look what is new in the tank: More to come: It will be interesting to see how many survive. Two little guys out so far and they have "baby immunity" in the anemones. |
