I have 2 small powerheads in the tank.
Do you think it needs more?
I can set up my DropCam on it again.

If it's easy to do, then how would I see? Lack of flow would be my guess, just looking at the pic. How do I see your cam?

If possible, make sure it's not unidirectional.

You both seem to have started with a rough one from the start. There may not have been anything to do for them. Some are able to just hang on for a long time, a long slow decline, others melt in one day. It's a heart breaker to spend so much time trying to get one to stabilize. Sorry to see guys. It's a lot of water to try saving them, and a lot of work. All I can say is thanks for sharing, sorry to see.

Don't let Minh fool ya, I saw his blue gig yesterday and it looked pretty good.
I think Minh is having green Gigantea fever. He may end up trading me that blue for a green. :spin3:

Yeah. It was in cold water from the beginning.
Honestly, I was expecting a better specimen from Diver's Den.
That's what I spent $300 and ordered from them.
If I wanted a poor specimen I could have went to PETCO....
Although I've had good luck with PETCO.
2 orders in a row from LiveAquaria I've had pretty bad service.
First I ordered a purple haddoni. But when it was time to deliver they said they had posted the wrong pic for it. So I asked for a the correct picture and it was a bleached haddoni.
So I cancelled.
My next order was this purple gig and a green mandarin.
Both arrived in 67 degree water. The mandarin was DOA.
And the gig.. well a fight from day 1. And has never been in good condition.
:deadhorse1:
Pretty disappointing and I'm not sure I will attempt to keep another gig.

Sorry to hear. This round from LA looks like it was pretty dismal.

Yeah. Afraid so.
I had it on antibiotics the same day I received it and had it on 2 different kinds for 2 weeks +.

Maybe that was the issue. You put it on antibiotics before it showed signs of infection...?
If you put meds on a healthy anemone IMO it only goes downhill since it causes it to purge good bacteria aswell...
I know its after the fact, but personally I like to wait 24 hours to see how it rebounded from shipping.. as you said in the original post the water temperature and quality was less then ideal.

Possibly.
I might try that next time.
I've been trying to follow advice on the forums.
But who knows. I keep asking myself... what if I had used this first, changed lighting, flow, etc. etc.
I do see some mistakes that I made.
I will have to try not to commit the same ones next time.
But no matter what I have done (and maybe done wrongly) it just kept heading downhill.

Yeah, $399 and it was HUGE...12" I was ready to pull the trigger, but 12" is 4-5" too big for my tank.
It took about 10 minutes before it got sold....I wonder if it will surface on the forum.
