What is your room temp?

Tentacles on my anemone are disappearing. What’s going on? If all the tentacles on your anemone are shrinking, it is normally a sign of starvation. If only some of the tentacles are missing, shrinking, or deflated, it is a sign of physical damage. Anemones will grow quickly if they are in a healthy environment and have bright lighting and a secondary food source. However if the lighting is dim and they don’t have a lot of secondary food, the anemone will start to wither away as it consumes its own body tissues to stay alive. One of the most striking signs of this condition is when the tentacles become shorter and shorter – appearing like nubs or bumps on the oral disk. Anemones can recover from this condition, but only if they are placed in a healthy environment with good water and proper lighting. Secondary targeted feeding can help, but it is normally a short term solution if other factors are not in line. Anemones can be physically damaged (and lose tentacles or have shrunken tentacles) by many sources. Frequently it can be predation by another fish – either a clown or small angel or other reef fish. Anemones can also be stung by large LPS colonies like frogspawn or bubble corals. Finally, anemones can be preyed upon by large worms (especially if the damage only occurs at night). There are other (less common) predators as well. The sign of predation is always localized damage on the anemone. http://www.carlosreef.com/AnemoneFAQ.pdf

Added any new stock lately? Have you done any changes? If not, its your NITRATES :lol: :lol: :lol: Just kidding

The problem is that it is almost impossible to extract any information from these debates :-?

I run a full siphon with a backup, its better to be safe than sorry The full siphon is quite sensitive to changes in the system I would recommend using an auto topoff to keep the return pump head pressure constant.

Think its http://www.goniopora.org/

Will work great, what is the size of the baffles? Remember the bigger the baffles the better

Thanks, the latest is a great movie

What are you planning on keeping?

28.5

Damn, I wish I was in Auckland

Thats about it, control your nutrients

Tell me about it. I'm getting 500kbps ATM and I am on a full speed plan :lol:

One thing is that switching pumps on and off reduces the life of the pump. I find that you get the best random turbulent flow by either having it bouncing off the glass or aimed at each other. For my mostly SPS tank I have about 70 times turnover. I plan on putting in sand at some stage so can't get much more flow in the tank without a sandstorm :-?

HPM digital ($14 from bunnings) works well for me on my 250Ws.

:lol: It seems quiet deep. But you wouldn't be able to see past the things at the front :-?

kH soft, what test kit are you using? You will need one a bit more accurate to give you an actual value eg kH 9.0. Calcium is important if you have corals in there. Skimmer? Whats in the canister?

How long has your tank been setup?

I use photobucket for my online pic storage. I find it very easy to use, it even copies the correct 'tag' for you. Here is a program that makes it easy to resize your big digital camera pics. Just install, right click on pic and resize to small. http://download.microsoft.com/download/ ... ySetup.exe Hope these help

Always impressed by your huge corals
