Moved My H.Mag

[clowns101]

Hello RC,
Yesterday I had moved my Ritteri anemoneto a different tank.Once I had moved her she had started to expel waste and balled up.She has now expanded out but not as big as befor.I was wondering if this is common for them to do.I feel like she is just getting used to the water quality.


Amonnia:0ppm
Nitrite:0ppm
Nitrate:5ppm(nothing at all)
PH:8.1 to 8.3
Calcium:420 to 440
Temp:72 to 75

72 way too cold for a mag

I agree that 72 is too cool to keep a mag. I would suggest you shoot for around 80F.

72 is normal for temps during the colder months.

The average temperature of coral reefs is around 82F. It's true that temps will drop down to the low 70s, perhaps even into the mid-60s within the range of H. magnifica. However, for long-term maintenance, I would suggest you shoot for the 78-82F range. I personally prefer to keep mine around 80-81F.
