Anenome help!

HUH! "TIP: You know if you can take care a anemone if you know how to spell it correctly."

Correction --> TIP: You know if you can take care of an anemone, if you know how to spell it correctly.

First, Before you correct & flame others, learn proper grammar!

Second, you're stating that his light won't support an anemone, but he should get a frogspawn??? Are you serious!! WOW....

 

Oh I forgot, this link is excellent regarding BTA care.

Great link.. K+ for you..

 

thanks guys i tried to get anemones in my 55 gallon and it never worked out but my dad is pretty much set on getting 1 so im gonna do whatever it takes to keep it alive. Sense i dont have a protein skimmer im going to do many water changes

 

Hey thanks.;D




A healthy anemone only needs to be feed a small piece of raw seafood weekly to every two weeks. Keep the feedings small and remove all uneaten food from the tank.

Personally I like pieces of scallops, fish, or shimp. Many people feed a small marine fish called silversides, you can get these at most LFS.

 

No skimmer?? Grrrrrrr... If possible, I HIGHLY recommend getting one!!! Feeding, I may feed mine once a month, maybe?? It doing great! On my thread you can see how much it grew in 3 months..

 

I think I tend to feed mine more, just because they clone more frequently. But I have gone longer than a month without feeding, and no problems.

Now I gotta go check out your thread ComputerJohn.

 

Anemones don't really work out for most people, and hardly ever for a long period of time. You can get the look from quite a few different corals with much better survival rates, like a plate or torch coral. You'd still need better lighting and filtration than a BC29 provides, though.

TBQH, your dad seems very impulsive if he's mentioning all of this stuff. Most of what you've posted about aren't easy things to keep.

 

i read allot from that site i think i can do it if there less than 4 inches i feed them half a silver side if there more i feed them whole. Feed them 1once a week and im going to buy the rock that the anemone is attached 2. I may get a protein skimmer probly the cbr sr3 skimmer for the bio cube whene i get it ill post pictures of what it looks like in my tank and how its doing im allso going to add a big CNC sense i need teh tank free of any dibree they like moderate flow correct? im going to be buying anuther powerhead

 

One, I'm not flaming him. Two, he asking us if he can have a anemone. Then he probably has lights to keep LPS. It doesn't matter what type of light he has, it is the placement of estates. If he has PC lights and his tank is shallow, it should work. This is the internet, nobody cares if you can spell.
