Problem With Anemone

[Ella_e]

Stupid smiley face, that was supposed to be pH 8.2.
Does anyone else have any suggestions?

I could see if petco has any my last resort is tap water and conditioner. And I have an extra heater and an air stone for the bucket. This won't happen until tomarrow or saterday

Good luck! I hope everything turns out fine! I really hoped someone would come and maybe suggest a few more things (I'm pretty new to saltwater and do many things unconventionally in my tank)
But yea I hope everything turns out alive and healthy, try to do it asap, no one likes living in a bucket. And if there is no RO water, you have to use tap with tap water conditioner, not the end of the world either. Fill up your buckets, mix, treat, pour, repeat!

There are a lot of micro bubbles coming from my skimmer will that stop as it breaks in or will it be ok

 

[Elykreefs97]

Are the micro bubbles bad in the tank to let them go?

 

[fort384]

As the skimmer breaks in it should become less of an issue. It won't hurt anything in the mean time.

 

[Elykreefs97]

Ok how long should I wait until I fine adjustment

 

[fort384]

It will probably take a couple of weeks at least to break in before you will really be able to dial it in.

 

[Elykreefs97]

It looks good so far just got the fish corals and nem in nem looks really healthy

 

[Elykreefs97]

This is how its running after about 8 hours

 

[Elykreefs97]

When should I have just my actinics on without my 10000k on?

 

[fort384]

Totally up to you. Staggering the photoperiod is not a prerequisite to success.

 

[Elykreefs97]

I'll just leave them both on all the time

 

[fort384]

You don't want to leave them both on all the time. You need to establish a photoperiod.

 

[Elykreefs97]

So what about leave the actinics on at night or what?

 

[fort384]

No. You don't want a significant photoperiod longer than 12 hours or so. If you want to provide some minor light at night, you would want a moonlight setup or dimmable LEDs. A proper photoperiod is important for the health of your tank.
