    bubbles are in the wrong spot

    Do you have the skimmer on the sump or on your DT? It does sound like some type of weird siphon/draw issue. I would try turning off the pump and...

    Chiller Stats

    I agree with Luna too. My 1/5 on my 150 is stressed since it is on the top end of the max. It's going on my 65G when I get that going again. I'm...

    what do bubble tip anemones eat??

    I feed my anemone a krill once a day, or every other day, depending on if it shows it's hungry. The mouth will pucker open and the tentacles will...

    dying BTA?

    Nah, looks like it just deflated to poop. When you see it stringy and melted looking, that is when it's dead. The tentacles should feel sticky...

    bubbles are in the wrong spot
