Well many of you don't know me (hi Minh,Phil a few others I see still here), I was a pretty prolific poster back in the day. But the hurricanes happened and I've lost touch with my hobby since but I'm back! I've mixed it up quite a bit inasmuch as anemones but lets hold the chemical warfare question for another day. Here goes 100g cube photon 400w with 4x39w lighting. BK 200 mini for now.

The citizens are a pair of spawning mandarins,being a relatively new tank (less than a year) this scared me but ebay is a beautiful place, I spiked the tank with 2000 mysid grammarus and plan to do so again to be sure the infauna is there. Big ups to einstein aquatics Chris gave me most of the citizens of one of personal tanks.

My babies a mated pair of Mccullogh's clowns, according to Chris this pair is from the original AUS batches that came over two years ago. Love em, they aren't a happy couple but I've had a few of those as long as as there is no DMG to him. He's biting rocks which is surprising but it'll be a long while I'm sure.

Anemones; a few roses a Gigantae and a red Haddoni that is their home.
Lets leave off with the chemical warfare possibilities for now and let me roll Around in happy times.

I walked into a sorta old shop here in Houston with my wife out looking at estate sales (ugh). Low and behold with this CV HOB skimmer and no filtration I found a Gigantae staring at me.$40 look flaccid but the body contoured were good. Not sticky. Hmmmm, I tried it. Since the body had beautiful folds and the color wasn't that off I tried it in the display. So far it's beautiful it's size and tentacles have increases not dramatically but it's so much more healthy. Relatively low flow. Details later
I've kept clowns and anemones since I bought my first pair of luecokranos from Morgan Lidster at Inland in the mid 90's. I was hooked. I've kept everything you can imagine from gemmatum to Conspics and it was always clowns, anyway here's some pics

Thanks!
 
I don't even know what order these are in now... Ill do the chronological later.

Two years J (like I said from what I've heard Chris is reliable and he says 2 years and from AUS, the original pilgrimage? Dunno.) no DMG just a very Dom female (go figure), proper submissive procedure by the male ( I feel like I'm describing my life) and they are okay. He's even cleaning a bit, well biting rocks but in the right sequence, we've all seen b4 aggression from female /submission from male rock biting. That's my experience at any rate.

Any type of rock biting is positive after just a week IMO. They shipped with their host I can imagine that helped.
