Sea Anemones and Lighting for Survival

[elegance coral]

Come on people! If I was a newbe and I posted info about my system and someone pointed out a potintial problem, even if I didn't ask about it, I would be thankful. Isn't this what we should be doing on this sight? Snapper1, one more thing you didn't ask about, research the species of anemone you want to keep before getting one. Some live in the sand (long tenticles)and therefore may not receive the light it needs from the bottom of your tank. Some will live on rocks so you could get them close enough to the light but are very hard to keep(Heteractis Magnifica/ Ritteri) I'm not saying that you wouldn't do the research just pointing something out. I'm glad to see that you are researching the whole lighting thing before buying another anemone. I have an aquarium with 5 longtenticles, 2 seabays, and one large green carpet, allong with a pair of clowns. It is incredable to watch the clowns bounce from one anemone to another. Once you get this set up right I'm sure you will enjoy your tank as much as my wife and I do ous

i think snapper has made it clear that he is not interested in advice that we have and rather than wonder why people have given him the advice he would rather go and bash us in the agressive fish forum.

dont take our advice. read the FAQ on the animals you have purchased.

How old are you, 13? I mean come on. The members on this thread were tying to help you. If you don't want to hear their advice and feedback, don't post! There is no need to get defensive. And yes, some of m ight be anemone geeks but so what! Its and addicting passion.

Lets all agree this thread ran it's course long ago, the question has been answered, and some of us need to step away from the keyboard.

Thanks.
