Anemone Question

[AquaReeferMan]

I would stay away from saltwaterfish dot com. Ive heard nothing but horror stories about them. I highly recommend liveaqaria dot com. I feed my carpet and bta 2 times a week, either some krill or silversides.

Ive heard great stuff about swf. They also have a 14 day guarentee. Also liveaquaria has high shipping costs.

 

[AquaReeferMan]

its $35, very cheap compared to anyone else I know. Liveaquaria also has a 14 day guarantee. A lot of people say its hard to get a hold of swf.coms customer service if something comes in dead.

 

[TriGa22]

Yes I have heard that too. Its 20.00 on SWF. Im not sure who I will choose. I will check and see the price differences. Thanks anyways for helping me out man. I appreciate it.

 

[AquaReeferMan]

Yeah no problem.

How should I acclimate them? Can I touch them or will they sting me? How do I put them in the tank? Thanks

Just curious but if your occupation is a "fish store" why aren't you talking to a wholesaler? I used to work at a pet shop with a fish room, and I would call our whole sale place and have them hand pick stuff for me. They were always very careful since they didn't want to lose the shop's business. Plus I paid less. Or are you in the consumption business and I'm in the assumption one?

This is how I acclimate anemones.
1. Float the bag for 15 minutes.
2. Open bag, remove 1 cup of water, replace with one cup of tank water.
3. Repeat step 2 every 20 minutes for about an hour.

You can touch them. Their sting isnt strong enough to hurt you. I just scoop them with my hand or in a small plastic container and sit them on a piece of LR.
