Small Bright Green Carpet 5 inch

[laserjim]

I have a small Bright Green Carpet (5 inch )in a Solana with 2 True Percs. What powerhead would you recommend adding ??

 

[tufacody]

To the best of my knowledge there is no anemone-safe powerhead. I'm sure if someone invented a good one it would sell like hotcakes.

I can put screen around it.

The screen mod is your best bet.

Im wanting to know how strong of powerhead. thanks

I'd do like a mj600 easy to cover and not too crazy for flow. That carpet is going to outgrow that tank quickly...

How big and dimension of the Solana?
Not all of us, especially the one who are not looking for new tank, know how big is a Solana.

what kind of carpet is it?

I have two Gigantea's in my 35 Solana....Mind you they are smaller and
i know i am going to have to move them right now they have plenty of room....I have a Vortech mp20 in there and they are happy as can be....I just covered it myself...

Usual carpet, S. hadonni, stay on the sand and should not climb up on the side of the tank. I have a 24 g cube and have two Korelia 2 in it. I have a rather large carpet (10-12 inches) in it on the sand bed. It is doing well for several years now. Always on the sand and is in no danger from the PH.

Solanas are 22" x 22" x 22"...

That depends on what species of carpet you have. Giganteas like more flow than haddonis.

 

[laserjim]

I dont know what kind it is?

 

[OrionN]

That is not a carpet at all but a Cryptodendrum adhaesivum. You can look at the anemone FAQ and read more about this anemone.

 

[laserjim]

I cant tell the difference between it and the Haddoni

 

[laserjim]

I think its a carpet.

 

[hansonfam]

Nope its not its a pizza anemone...Been there and done that...Its deep purple base that gives it away...that and the little frilly tentacles around the outer edge...
Regardless if you like it keep it..

 

[tufacody]

I think hanson is right, but that is one of the prettiest ones I have seen. I've seen lots of green haddoni but never one with a purple base.
