Help anemone

[Rscomia]

i guess it's the personality as well? i never plan to keep a new i feel i could never give the care needed but ii plan on learning as much as i can

They are not as hard to care for as one would think If you ever did get one you will be addicted to them lol

They will get some food from photosynthesis I have read of people never feeding them anything and having luck with them When I first got mine I was feeding silversides every other day but Ive cut back to about once a week just because the more you feed them the faster they grow plus you have to be careful not to overfeed so they dont have trouble digesting it all

hm i just leaned something new lol. would stock lights on a cube be to weak? also would a 24" 2 bulb t5 24w( each bulb) be to weak?

 

[nchipley]

U just put the silversides in or u tweezer feed?

 

[Rscomia]

The stock lights would be one might survive with the others but it would not thrive most anemones need high light

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

nchi whats your plan for that tang?

 

[xxwolfpackof1xx]

would it matter if the bulbs in the t5 were 18000k ?

Im not sure on what they need as far as k rating my carpet has 4 54 watt 10 k t5s on it 18k would be a little more intense??

 

[Rscomia]

Metal halides are suggested but as you can see im keeping one of mine under t5s
