    hole in lta foot

    So I watched my foxface bite a hole in my LTAs foot. I've got it covered in sand and his foot is hidden again. The mouth on the LTA is still tightly closed and he's still fully open. What is the chance of him bouncing back and healing?

    Anemone and Tank Bred Clows

    The way i got my clowns to host (which isnt the best way because you shouldnt move an anemone) was to move it under where the clowns usually sleep in the corner of my tank. I had my anemone for a month and a half clowns showed no interest. I moved it to where they slept and overnight they were...

    i'll have to try that, I am going to buy a package from Reef Cleaners. I know one thing that may have spiked my algae, i recently upgraded from a 29 to a 55 and I had a large package from reef cleaners already in the 29.

    Setting up from scratch - no canister filter?!

    Sumps are nice because you can house all your filter stuff inside there and keep your DT nice and clean looking. Not to mention they're superior to anything else at maintaining chemicals. You can keep your heater, skimmer ect. inside of the sump.

    converting from 40g to 20g need help

    I'd use new live sand, but same rock and water. Your tank should be ready to go as soon as you put the water in. Lighting could be an issue, you can spot feed the anemone to keep lit alive but with low light its going to move around and try to find a spot it likes. This could cause problems with...

    converting from 40g to 20g need help

    Survivability shouldnt be that bad because your stocking list isnt overwhelming even for a 20. The only thing i'd be concerned with is the sheer size those LTA's can get. You may need to get rid of one and only put a single anemone in the tank. Are you just using the same filtration, lights ect?

    Yay! :)

    Yeah I've got a LTA under t5's and its doing amazing. Clowns treat it like a sleeping bag lol. From what i've read the whole "when an anemone dies it releases tons of chemicals" is actually an old wise tail and nothing like this actually happens. I've used red slime remover as well before and...
