Yesterday my anemone split in half. Both seem to be doing fine. The new one is kinda hidden in some rocks. I think the anemone split cause it got too big (was the size of a volleyball). Its tenticales sometimes were on the surface of the water. But I also read it might be due to stress. On...

I think it's a bubble tip. Here's a pic.

I got a 60 gal about 4ft wide

Thanks for the info, looks unanimous. And that Maroon does not leave the Percula alone for a second. I decided to get rid of the little percula. At least the Maroon has hosted with the anemone. Thanks again

Sunday, when feeding the fish I noticed my clown fish was no where to be found. Searched for him and nothing. Thought he might have died of old age. Well today went to LFS to get water for a water change and picked up a Maroon Clown. Right away the maroon clown went for the Anenome, (which...

well been two days since I seen my mandrain. Today i lifted rocks in search for him, no luck. If starved and die could the crabs and cleaner shrimp consume the remains. Is it possible that anenome ate him? How bad is it for the tank for the madrain to decompose in the tank if no other...

This morning I saw white stuff coming out of my anemone. It looks kinda of tenticales bunch together with some white flakes. Is he dying? Or spliting? Heres a pic. As you can see he is attached inside of a rock. If dying how to get him out? I did take rock to the surface to smell if there...

This morning when I went to feed the fish I noticed that my fire fish was nowhere to be seen. I looked all over the tank moving rocks and sand. Only to find him on the floor dried up. Must have jumped out. How do I prevent other fish from suffering the same fate? The tank has a number of...

I acclimated the shrimp by sitting the bag in the tank for about 20mins. Then took him out of bag into tank. Should I have done something different? As for the PWC I just take the water from LFS and dump it in after emptying tank to the % needed. Rick

ALk = 8 dKH Ca = 320 ppm Well I did not add it to my tank. The LR came with the tank. I had to move it. So the LR was out of the water for a good hr. We wrapped them in wet clothes, put them in a plastic container with water in it. Rick

well, could be just echoing which makes it seem louder. There is a slight echo in that part of the house.

Is there any way I can reduce the overflow noise. This is my first tank. Return pump in the sump is a Mag Drive seven. Thanks
