i havent read much into corals yet.. wanted to start them over the summer maybe so ill be reading into it very soon.. all parameters are fine except my nitrates are always bout 20-30 ppm. i have 5lbs live rock.. will be getting 15 more by next month.. and its been set up for about 3-4 months now. o i have one powerhead only 145gph.. how much should i have gph?

IMO you will need to wait at least another 3-4 months before getting an anemone, if you dont know much about corals do not, do not get a carpet anemone, chances are you will loose it. As far as not being big enough, that is incorrect you could keep a small carpet in a 20 gallon for a while but not long term, i plan on keeping mine in the 12 for another 7-8 months, then moving him to his permanent home the 24, where he will live happily ever after. lol

Me personally i do not like coralife lights, i prefer jbj lighting. imo it is much better of a product and suggest you look into their product.

 

[angelsj247]

which light should i get.. which would would be better in the end.. my tank is 30 " long and this one only has a 24" which from what i heard i could work with

Well maybe if you guys could spell i would be able to understand you. I left another site b/c all i got over there was bashing and people tell me my stuff is going to die. I have been in this hobby long enough to know what can work and what can not. And i know for sure that this carpet will survive in this tank for a long time, in fact it will be ok in there until it outgrows the system. It is not that i dont like opinions it is that i do not like unhonest opinions, the fact is you guys and gals know nothing about my system, and the only person that can say water parms are fine is me and no one but me. You are entitled to your own opinions, but try to make them justified. Now lets all have a nice time and not get to mad or frustrated, that is not why i joined. Now back to the comments, but justified and as honest as they can be. Also i had a green carpet which was about the same size that lived in the very same nano for about a year then i moved him to my lagoon. Which i will post pics when i get a better camera.

No one said you had bad lighting or bad water quality.. we may have said.. "if that was stock lighting" or something like that... chill.. we werent flaming you.. just some people were saying some facts so that you know...(which apparently you do)...
good day

Even with the stock lighting this anemone would be ok. Hey but guess what we both have the same name,lol. I am sorry if i took it as if you guys were bashing me,but it just sounded like you were.

 

[angelsj247]

never heard of jbj lighting.. do you have a site where i can look at it?

 

[bluerug]

i sure do.

Angelsj,

I would strongly suggest you start another thread to discuss your own plans if you are looking for input from very experienced reefers.

Bluecarpet has taken a stance and been rude to the first posters who were trying to share their experiences. This means that most of the more experienced anemone keepers on this site will not see your questions.

Bluecarpet -- Before suggesting that you have troubles reading the posts of others on this board because of their spelling you should really improve your own grasp of spelling and/or grammar depending upon which you'd like to blame for your own errors.

Reef clubs are where i have gained a whole lot of information about anything and everything that has to deal with reef tanks. Oh and by the way natural blue carpets are much more hardier of a species than the dyed ones, which this one is naturally blue.

lol

 

[Toddrtrex]

Ditto.
I will glady answer your questions in another thread.

[Edit, the ditto was for DanTodd's post]

Does photobucket charge a fee?

 

[bluerug]

nope.

 

[bluerug]

has anyone ever had a carpet anemone split on them before. Please let me know if there is anyone out there that has.

 

[55semireef]

I doubt it. Like you said earlier, "carpet anemones have a mind of their own."

There was a pic of a S. gigantea in one of the Julian Sprung books that appeared to be splitting. I saw a S. mertensii in a holding tank once that two oral disks/mouths attached to the same foot. I appeared to be in the process. I don't know if it was the result of injury or what.

Someone on this forum posted an account with pictures of his haddoni forming a bud which developed into another anemone, but after 6 months or so still hadn't completely separated at the base.

I had a blue haddoni that seemed to be forming a bud, but a clownfish forced its way though the small opening and made a rip in the anemone from which it didn't recover. The bud started on top and then inverted itself and popped out the bottom. Sorry the pics aren't the best.

 

[sushiking]

Beautiful carpet anemone! Mine is green...but the blue is much more striking in appearance.

 

[bluerug]

Thank you sushi, and thanks for the pics of the bud that was on the blue, looks very interesting. That is my next goal of mine to buy a whole lot of carpets (30-45) and hope they begin to split. Hopefully the goal will become true.
