nems and nutrient levels

[bugbdon]

do nems do well with higher nutrient levels or very low nutrient levels? or....somewhere inbetween?

basically i'm asking if ~10-15 ppm of nitrate is ok for them or do they like 0 nitrates?

also how important are phosphates to them?

do btas, ltas, carpets and mags have different water parameter requirements?

thanks

I think a bubble tip anemone would be ok for those nitrate levels. People say there are one of the easier types of anemones to keep.

The cleaner the better when it comes to nutrient levels.

Back in Sept I had back surgery, and couldn't do my weekly water changes, my Haddonis didn't look as good as they normally do. Once I was able to do the water changes again they started to look great again.

I try to keep my nitrates as close to 0 as possible in my bta tanks.

good to know...i've had a bta for about a year, and it's looking ok....but it hasn't grown very much........
