My Clowns and Bubble Tip Anemone Collection

[DeathWish302]

Ted - I have a 'Super Flame, Rosy Red, Lodi-acious, Unobtainium' BTA if you want to trade sometime.....:deadhorse:

Seriously, nice collection. Unfortunately, naming has taken like a wildfire from over a decade ago when I bought my 'green anemone'.:beer:

Nice collection of anemones, are those radions over your tank? If so how did you acclamation them to the light?

 

[z's_N_p's]

Very nice collection of nems.

Those are Radions, but they went with the SPS. No need for that kind of light with BTAs. I started them at 40% and ended up at 80%.

 

[Haddonisreef]

So you got rid of the radions? What kind of lighting is over them now!?

 

[jmadison]

Ted- I had PMd you.

ATI 6x54w Sunpower. I'm only running 4 bulbs now though. The only reason I got the 6 bulb fixture was because it fell in my lap at an excellent price.

why are you only running 4 bulbs instead of 6? do you think that the BTA's like less light? and what bulb combo are you using?

Thanks

I don't think they like less, I think they would be just as happy with 6 bulbs. The ATI fixtures/bulbs put out a LOT of par and in a tank with only 20" of water I just don't need 6. In a 90 or 120 I would run all 6 bulbs.

super nice setup, the eel start to come out yet?

 

[SkullV]

Only when feeding. I think a lot of it is that he has SO much rock to hide in. Once I drill the rock in the next week or 2 and open the aquascape I think I'll see more of him. Cool fish either way.

I'll assume I wont be getting a response to my PM.

Prior to getting rid of the Radions, were any of these nems under the LEDs or did you aquire them after you switched lights

Can you resend it? I must have missed it somehow. A few of the nems were under LEDs and did just fine. LEDs can/will grow anything that T5/MH will. You just have to acclimate very slowly to the lighting change.

This is exactly what I am trying to do with my biocube, I would love to have an all anemone tank. Is there any kind of chemical warefare between them? I know they are all bubble tips but I've read that even So there can be some fighting and you need to be careful

I run a carbon reactor at all times, and have seen no negative reaction from any of the anemones. I would be careful in a small cube tank though. These things can grow quickly.

Resent!

I'm debating a swap to LEDs, will def. take it slow

 

[AzNano]

where do you get your rainbow nems?

very nice btw

 

[ricepow]

Very nice!

 

[z's_N_p's]

I forgot to ask how many and which clowns to do you have in the tank now? also, I'm guessing that the BTA's are settling in nicely. keep the updates and pics coming.

The tank looks awesome. I like how you mounted the Radion's. Very cool!
