That's what I am thinking I did some rock work and I have opened it up a little bit more so it will have room. so I will look for a small one and then let it grow how often should you feed it my rbta I don't feed at all every once in a while it just gets what I feed the tank.

- Start date
Sorry been a bit busy for last few hours dealing with a new mag and cleanup. PLUS it is snowing.. I don't know if you know or not.
SO.... MOST anemones cam live strictly off of sunlight (our light we give it). I feed my BTA one a week. I feed the Haddoni and the Ritteri once every 4 days.
Yeah I bumped it up... used to feed once a week but my Ritteri shrank some.. So I Increased the feeding.. It should be happier in a week or so.

Well a Gig is going to be one of the hardest to keep. Honestly saying.
The issue I have, with dealing with the gig, is having the canister filter.
You have dealt with the canister filter for quite a while and you know what to do and not to do. The bigest problem with canister is the build up of detrius and basically a nitrate factory. This constant flux, cleaning out every XXX days/weeks, causes a lot of flux. Even in the bacteria that is growing on the media in it.
Frankly before you move to a gig I would upgrade your filtration to a sump, does not have to be large, then move forward.
While some people say that a canister is a mini sump, it is in the eyes of the beholder. A canister can have more surface area than a comparable sump could hands down, but in the long run one flush of the media and a mini cycle starts.
Just my two cents on the issue.

I appreciate the knowledge on this never thought of the canister like that, and then I wont get it then not fair to the animal in my eyes so a mag tolerates them better? knew I could ask you and get a solid answer it was nice was 89 and about 8 in all wavy across at the lfs.

Well that is an ATS.
Pesonally I have an ATS and like mine but it is not there to replace a canister filter.
For an ATS he would need a sump anyway to let it flow back into, the bacteria inside the canister is his MAIN filtration unit. He would have to run both for a bit to get the bacteria switched / increased in the sump before turning them off.
The ATS would not help in that effort.

I have thought about a sump but the tank I have is not rr and I worry about the wonder over flow have done it once when i tried back on the 45 gallon I had. Wife was not a happy camper lol. But that is the nature I was looking in to the automated ones that pull the water with a pump instead of suction. I have also thought about just pulling the canister all together and going sumpless but not sure on that one either many things to think about...
There are options that would be beneficial to help you in doing this.
There are overflow boxes that pull the water, and still leave it at the right height, as to not drain the entire tank.

Look at that link. They range in pricing and companies. PLUS there are some supporters on here that also sell them.

well found one
Well I found one and have had it for a little over a few weeks so far so good. When I found it in the store it was a little deflated and mouth a little open. I took it home since I could not beat the price of 45.00. I drip aclimated it for 2hours then placed it in a the hospital tank looked good for ten days in the hospital tank treated with anti bacterial medicine to help it since i have heard all the scary stories. After day 11 I placed in my display tank in the bottom corner of my tank to not light shock him. Clown fish jumped right in he has slowly started climbing up the rock tower i built for it. Almost to the top of it now. What does everyone think?

So still doing good has moved totally up to the top of the pillar. so far has not moved otherwise mouth still looks great there are a few tentacles that deflate while it is curved up in the wrinkles but other than that the tentacles are splitting and making more so I am hoping this keeps up. Any inputs would greatly be appreciated.
