Sorry to hijack lol but how do you remove a nem? I have 3 green bubble tips and 2 I want to sell but can't move them, I've tried the powerhead pointing and can't get my finger underneath as they are in a crevice. Thanks lee.

I have the same anemone, it's not a bubble tip nem it is a condylactis nem ;)

I clean mine every week mate. I usually clean 2 screens a week then the other 2 the next week.

I think any kind if growth on the screen is good as its not growing somewhere in your tank, I think browny black algae growth is due to high nutrients and when cleaned off a few times green will grow. I went to b&q and got myself some drain pipe with end caps and made a light unit with 5 20w...

If you have aiptasia problems get a couple of peppermint shrimp, I had a big infestation in my 5x2x2 and 2 tiny pep shrimps cleared the lot within a week ;)

Ah he seems happier, keep him well fed. I use a turkey baster and blast some mysis on them once or twice a week !

As I'm only lighting mine with my main light unit with 2 54w 6500k t5s at the back and lit around 8 hours im going to be building a new light unit with a row of 20w spiral cfl's lit for 18 hours and change the bulbs every 3 month, I think this will work a lot better, I have been planning on...

Nice vid by the way floyd, Paul's tank looked great i skimmed through it but never saw the scrubber, ill read through the whole thread later on ! Edit: just seen his scrubber and doesn't look that different to mine thanks floyd, never seen anyone make one like mine above their tank.

That doesn't look healthy, I have 3 very similar nems and should look like this !

I have to say the way I have designed this scrubber it's a breeze to take out a screen and clean it, here is what I have just cleaned off :)

Hiya, I have the same condylactis anemone, mine was very white and bleached when I got it but I have looked after it well and is now creamy browny colour, I use a turkey baster and blast it with mysis once a week and has grown a hell of a lot !

Ah well it looks very nice now, I like your scape too. Sometime down the road you may wish you never put pulsing Xenia in your tank as it grows very very quick, I throw away fist fulls every month or 2, I still like the stuff even tho it can completely take over tanks in no time, I still have...

Hi there nub, Did you cure the rock in a separate tank (flow, heated, skimmed, water changed) then did you let it dry ?

Hi there, it would help if you have us full water parameters. Nems need a mature and stable tank, 1 year and older. You say your has been running 2 year so should be fine there. Might be lighting, t8s give off little usable light and you say you have LEDs, which led lights have you got and...
