    Emerald Crab fell into anemone!!

    Well, the anemone answered my question: it spit out the dead/digested crab remains! The good news it is that it (the haddon) seems just fine

    Emerald Crab fell into anemone!!

    So - I just watched a small emerald crab fall into a fairly large saddle(haddon) anemone - the anemone closed up right away. My question is: will it eat the crab? Will this hurt the anemone?

    Water changes for larger tanks

    I have a 220 and I use the same method. One other advatage I have is that I have a drain close enough that I can siphon water straight into the drain - that makes it faster as well.

    Pondmaster UV in newer large tank?

    Is there any reason I can't (or shouldn't) use a 10W Pondmatser UV in my 220 gal tank? I am considering using one with a 250GPH power head and running it the next few months while I am stocking my tank. My reason is simply that while I am stocking the tank; I have the highest risk of introducing...

    Did you just cut the downtube off as close to where it is intserted into the lid as you could or did you leave any sticking out? Did you use a hack-saw? Thanks -
