Well that's not where the evaporation is coming from then. Weird!

This is what i think is going on. Our lights are under the hood and its a 6 bulb t5 so thats alot of heat. Around the outside of the hood we have 4 fans built in... Im thinking the light heats up the surface of the water and causes evaporation and then the fans push it out of the tank through the grill on the side where the fans go....

With that amount of air flowing over the tank you'd have a lot of evaporation with any light fixture. Once the weather gets nice and cool you could try running two fans and see how it goes. I always run lots of air in the summer and less as winter approaches.

Awesome nem! Have you tried holding a picture of an anemone with clowns in it next to the tank? I just read a thread about that. Sounds crazy but people say it really works sometimes. Either that or playing a YouTube video of clowns swimming in their nems. I know I sound like I'm posting from the nut-house but hey, worth a shot! lol Especially if you have a book with a pic like that in it. Personally, I'd have to see it to believe it... but I won't discount it.

If a zoa catches "food" will it close up to eat? Mine open and close. Like sometimes they are open, an then I look again later and some will be closed or half closed, and then they will be open the next time I look.

Mine just randomly close sometimes. They dont really eat though...

Thanks dude means alot. Having a ton of fun with this tank. Cant keep my eyes off it.

Also just went to a reef club meeting and got some good stuff. Free too (but traded rock). Metallic Blue Xenia, and Inside-Out Zoas. Pretty happy with the pickups!

Gorgeous anemone!

One day... their's going to be a clown in it. lol

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Funny you say that i put some pellets in the nem to entice the clowns to go in there (not sure if this is a good way to do it or not) but the black clown swam in, ate all the food, and stayed in there. Now he goes back in every 60 seconds or so...... We will see haha thanks for following

VICTORY!!!!

That was TO quick!

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Hahaha well i dont think he is technically hosting the nem yet..... But hopefully he is on his way there lol

 

[Beengirl]

So is your clown hosting it? Or still just looking for food in it?

 

[Nu-Nu the eel]

Well i used the food to get him interested in it, but even when it ate all the food he was still interested soo.... Im not sure! One day my nem is the size of a golf ball and the next day hes the size of my head. What the heck?!? Lol

 

[Gboy66]

THE BLACK CLOWN BILLAY IS WIGGLING AROUND IN THE NEM!! Wow!!! It isnt a 100% host but he is going back to it all the time and fully in it!!! Soooo excited!!! Too bad the nem is in the back of the tank! Lol

Edit: best pics i could get

Two partial victories each a day apart! Crazy. That nem is gorgeous. Maybe it'll move a bit now that the clown is lovin on it.

 

[Beengirl]
