My hearts kinda raceing. lol I feel like i just brought a louis vuitoon or somthing.

Let me know what u think. I was going to wait up to a year to find a really nice rose. well i got the divers den e mail and my other half said go for it... and i did.

Its the worst time ever to buy one, im in the middle of cycling a 90 and my 45 is a jungle, but Ill make it work, as long as LA gets it to me safely that is.

pretty hu :D

Very pretty :)

Unless you have 20K XM and a shallow tank, you will not see the colors as depicted on LA website. Man, even sand is blue in that pic.
 
I have 2 250 watt 14k mh's and brite blue actinics on my 90, i may switch to 20k's once everythings moved over (3 weeks at least)

The tank it'll go in immediately is 14k. Ill definately post pics of the whole process of unpacking it to the tank..

I just really hope LA gets it to me safely.

rokle... you can have the first split, i know your hunting. hopefully its not a constant splitter tho, id like to see it get some girth :D
 
lol gsm i dident even realize u lived in ohio till now :) ihopeihopeihope i can keep it bubbly!!!!!!!

theres gotta be at least one experiment i could try... screening the mh a lil different food.. its so perfect.


oh. by the way, if u havent already looked..... theyre were three.. now theres two ;) yes expensive, but not that much more than what our lfs's would ask :)
 
tourkid i would put it in the establisehed tank and give your new tank a month before moving it i just moved my bta and the dont like it
anyway ways to make it stay blubbley keep it fed never let it go hungry thats the best way i think
hope it works out for you might have to go to colombus and check it out
 
gsm.. i was thinking a month at least as well. im useing reef water for water changes on the 90 and carbon, skimmer etc, but im sure it'll have new tank syndrome for a few months :(

Im always feeding my nem, i WISH i could keep it bubbley just like that! my gbta had bubbles for the 5 months i had it, b4 i switched to mh and it lost its bubbles right away, but its health improved greatly....

do u have a reef assosiation near u? cora is having some sweet meetings coming up, you should check it out :)
 
Tourkid, I think the post above is implying that your anemone is of chinese origin collection. Some people do not like the ones with green base but I think they are beautiful.

The photo seems to be diluted with blue light (20k mh or actinics) to accent the colors. It may appear different under plain 10k mh with no actinic supplementation.

I looks to be a beautiful and healthy specimen :thumbsup:
 
im in the cleveland club C-SEA, but have also thought about joining CORA
i really want to go down this weekend and check out phishy buisness
i just moved to ohio about a year and a half ago
i would love to see a pic of a "chinese RBTA" that would be cool
 
I have nothing but good luck with shipments from Live Aquaria, and I know they have an excellent reputation for customer service. No complaints from me at all and I'm darn picky. :)

That's a beautiful 'nem, congrats!
 
ive seen three threads this past few months of LA's nems arriving dead. not to mention we are getting a snow storm *gulp*

gsmguy... !!!!!!!!!!!!!! you HAVE to go to phishys!! its the best store in the universe! lol He got a new shipment in just lately, really great stuff. And you can actually trust the advice they give you. Cora is having a maxi jet mod workshop soon, and feb. is how to work with acrylic. I just joined recently, so Im just meeting everyone too.


I hope the foot is green, that would be super cool. :D I havent gotton shipment notifications yet, Im hoping they ship today to get here tomorrow.....

Ouch, didn't know that. If you're expecting bad weather maybe ask them to wait to ship it a few days? I'd think they'd rather do that than have it die. *keeping fingers crossed for ya*

LA has their 14 day "Arrive-Alive" guarantee even on the divers den, so if the shipment doesn't show up alive or doesn't last two weeks, it will of course be a terrible thing for the anemone, but at least you won't be out anything.

That said, I hope it arrives in fantastic condition and that it thrives in your tank(s)!

You guys should check out the new green one they put up, too...it's a beautiful color.
 
I just called them and upgraded the shipping for another ten bucks. i figure whats ten after what i already spent. looks like about 10:30 am tomorrow ill get it, it'll be shipped out tonight. and its going to a ups store so it'll be warm. Ill be refreshing the tracking page every 5 minutes im sure lol


yeah, the 14 day garentee kinda sealed the deal. im not really into ordering online esp. a nem. but i figure if its going to hgead south, it'll happen within two weeks. but ive def got experience with btas so if it gets here in one piece im confident it'll stay that way
