Hello, guys I just recently got a green carpet anemone for my tank. I didn't pay to close attention and forgot one of my power heads didn't have a cover on the suction part and well ya you figured it. The carpet anemone got sucked up in it. I turned the pump off and got him out. However, now its very very upset. Please help me with any advise you can give. Thanks
:cry::cry:%%%%:sad::sad:

Well, Im ready to take some criticism on this but it was an impulse buy for now. It is currently in a 24gallon nano. Its still very small. The tank has two mj1200's on it. I have a refugium on the back, full cleaner crew now... , and 150watt hqi pheonix 14k on it. I do water changes every week or two.
 
Just so you guys do know. This isn't where its home was planed. I have a 125gallon fish tank up and cycling currently. Its only been going for about a week now.
 
If the anemone is to recover, you will need to keep the water parameters in excellent shape. That is the one best thing you can do after an accident with a powerhead.
 
Tank Parms:

Ph= 7.8
Cal= 500
NH3+NH4 Ammonia = 0mp/l
No3 Nitrate= 2.5
Phosphate PO4 = 0.2
Iron FE = 0-0.1
Salinity = 1.027
Temp = Usually around 80f
 
I would suggest taking it back if it recovers myself. Many people make the ph mistake and learn from it. Luckily I read in here before I ever got an anemone.
 
Yeah, I took him back. I have been dosing the PH with buffer 8.3 and I usually do a couple times a week. Don't want to over buffer the water. IDK
 
I think them levels were from the anemone its self. My readings before that weren't that bad. Only the ph is the same. The thing with that is i buffer it about twice a week with the 8.3 buffer stuff but don't want to over buffer. Should I just add it untill it raises it or are there other ways?
