Beautiful nem, guessing its a rainbow.
For some reason I cant keep them, tank parameters all good, they just dont do well.
Grats on it, when mine was alive it was beautiful.

Mark, I've found that feeding them a meaty item larger than a piece of mysis once per week (at most) and keeping the tank a little dirty +10ppm nitrates is advantageous in keeping most anemones happy. HTH

I would like to thank @Bad Fish and @redfishbluefish for hooking me up with some frags. The pink birdnest is from @redfishbluefish which I got at the last meeting. The red monti cap is from @Bad Fish from last meeting (a raffle ticket he won but gave it to me) and the bam bam zoas and montipora confusa I picked up when I visited @Bad Fish house the other day.

Very nice tank set up. Well thought out for sure. I like your scape! What was the name of that specific paint you were going to use to paint your PVC?

Thanks

I find it funny people like my scape. I like my scape but its not like I spent a large amount of time on it. I put all the rock on a towel and slowly started to stack them until. I ended up with what I got there. Took me maybe 30mins or so to scape that tank.

Krylon is the name of the paint company. I have not done this yet (still slowly building my lines) Seeing how my system been running fine I have not been pressured to get the new pump in. Every time I see the new pump sitting I want to get it in but then I get lazy lol. Hopefully soon I can get it installed.

Here a thread about the paint I saw. Still doing research into the paint myself but got to build everything first. http://www.thereeftank.com/forums/f6/safe-paint-for-pvc-inside-tank-101344.html
