14 gal biocube

[Nate&Christy]

As some of you know our anemone died... When we found him, he was stuck to the bottom intake of our 14 gal biocube. Does anyone know how to get behind there?? Theres alot of him left over back there and we dont want the ammonia levels to continue to rise.. our other fish are fine for now but we are getting diatom on our live rock.. thank you for your help and input..

Try sucking out as much as you can. Do a big water change and run some carbon.

its wierd tho cuz he is hard... not like cottage cheese like they are supposed to be... he is sticking together.. i mean parts of him are coming out but the major chunk is hard...

Was it shreded or something? A pix would help. Anemones have really slow metabolism so they don't die. They slowly melt away and can crash your tank.

water change now!

Yeah, suck out what you can, WC, and carbon.
14g is really tough to do a nem, I wouldn't even try.

I trust you eventually found that the divider that sections off the bottom return on a BC14 is removable, right? Just put a screwdriver down between the slats, turn is sideways and pull up. It will pop free. I've removed mine and siphoned out an inch of black ooze. Good luck.
