markoshark Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 So, just wondering how many people turn their streams off overnight? Woke up this morning to hear *tickticktickticktick*. Bloody Seio had my BTA wrapped around the grill, hopefully it survives. Be doing a bloody big waterchange tonight, and getting happy with the syphon. Dammit.

davidb Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 guts man.. yeah My Nem has come to grief with my Seio a couple of times. I never turned it off at night coz my corals all need good flow. Only thing you can do is get stocking material or similar to cover up the holes so your nem can't get minced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Wow, this is the first time I've heard of a Seio eating an anemone. It's always Tunzes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wasp Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 How's it looking now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted October 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Sad. Foot is okish, but most of the tentacles have been skimmed out by the skimmer, i did approx 80L waterchange, also decided to ditch the substrate, as i'm thinking thats causing my phosphate problem, AND! got my two foot long bristle worms in the process. All in all, pretty crap day lol, but looking better now that i have the worms out of the tank And i aslo moved the heater to a corner of the tank, so looking much better.

reef Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 so decided to ditch the substrate, as i'm thinking thats causing my phosphate problem Substrate does not cause phostphate problems, its what you put in the tank. anemoes seem to love going into pumps. my tunze nanos have munched a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidb Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 if the foot is fine the nem should bounce back in good quality water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reef Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 Hate bristleworms They are great for reef tanks, dont cause problems unless you have a tank with high nutrients as you get too many. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reef Posted October 6, 2007 Report Share Posted October 6, 2007 they get too big because too much waste in the tank. Never had any issues in any of my tanks due to it being clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markoshark Posted October 7, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Mine came in a rock from someone elses tank. Have you seen Steve Weast's 7foot long beastie? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasp Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 Yes, the capacity of anemones to recover from major injury is remarkable, long as they don't get infected. So just keep the water quality as good as you can, should be sweet. If it gets through the first week & shows signs of healing you are 90% there. If it gets any jelly looking stuff on it's wounds, blow it of with a turkey baster, syringe, or similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollergirl Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 LOL- btw, that last post was from my boy, I think he meant "source" and also intended to use capitals at the start of a sentence hehehe :lol: Time to make him his own login maybe, or my reputation for (relatively) good spelling and grammar goes down the tubes!!! :lol: :lol: But back to the bristleworm thing (sorry I know it's a bit of a thread hijack), I have heard you can get some kind of a trap to put in the tank and catch them, anyone have any idea where from?
