Hosting is hit or miss. I have a pair of blk saddles that will host in seconds in any carpet they see.
My false percs took almost a year to host in a bubble and the only reason they did was cause the bubble moved right next to their anthelia bed that they slept in.
As for cuddling with a...
Here is a few more tidbits on Anemone's for you.

I have both carpets and bubble tips. Carpets tend to get big and mine likes very little flow. I had to set up a separate tank for the carpets.... I find it makes it easier to maintain them.
Found these two with straight plugs but have no clue what a CFM is. one is listed as powerful and the other is listed as quiet

Most of the fans have block plugs(take up a ton of space) with some type of voltage converter in them so splicing them is not really an option.
Am trying to avoid splicing something together.....gets me a ton of grief from the wife....water electricity and spliced wires all in one area tend to...
I need to get 3 four inch fans for a canopy but dont want to have to have 3 plugs to go with the 3 fans.
Does anyone make a modular system where all the fans plug into one hub type thingie and then the hub plugs into the outlet?
Sounds strange but one plug is better than 3
Got this 70 gallon last night for a great price....am planning on doing a species tank in the near future.
The owner before the person I got the tank from somehow set up the overflow for a closed loop as well as an overflow and it looks like crap.
Would really like to make it look nice as well...
Using a ton of live rock instead of the bio balls is going to cause the same issues you started with.
The detritus will build up on the rock just like it does on the balls.....you need macro algae more than anything.
If you are going to use live rock for your filtration then it should be in...
Refugium is the way to go.
Canister is useful especially if you want to run carbon or a phos remover etc but if its not maintained it could be a disaster waiting to happen.
Maybe they are just tasting your fish :o J/K
I have peppermints and a cleaner shrimp that will clean but have never seen my Coral banded clean any fish in my tank.
He will threaten any fish that comes within a 3 in radius of him. He actually swipes his claws at them and tries to nip them.
No they are not cleaners at all. I wouldnt classify them as aggressive per say but opportunistic.
Mine hangs upside down all day from the same rock until after the lights go out and then he roams all over the place looking for whatever they look for. If I stare at him too long he gives me the...
This may sound like a stupid question but....Just how does one go about dying an anemone....fill the tank with food colouring?
This is not naturally colored Guess they got busted dying them and now had to say that they were not naturally coloured
