Blue Carpet Anemone questions

Thank you, yes I'm very pleased as well. When I walked into my fish suppliers home I couldn't let this one go. As for water circulation and movement would a Maxi-jet 400 be adequate along with built in output. Any recommendations on how to best point the 400 so that I get a moderate flow around him? I have read and will wait a few days for him to settle in before I turn on the extra pump.

Thanks

 

very nice anemone - the clowns if wild will gravitate to it fast - if captive bred might take a long time if ever.

A little caution on this anemone - they are fish killers and in a tank that size they will cover the whole aquarium. If that is what you are looking for (have seen some nice set ups like that) you wont be able to add much.
They do grow depending on how much you feed them.

Congrats and start saving up for your upgrade

 

WOW!!!!! I may just have to rethink getting a nem. I have a 125 so i assume that there would be enough growing room for a carpet.

 

And i did it.....!!! Just broke down and got an awsome green carpet yesterday. He is attached, open and looks great! So excited.

 

Beautiful, I can't seem to find any under 400$. how much was yours?

As for the MJ, i put a maxijet 1200 in my biocube 14.

 

I ve never come across a blue in any of the LFS stores that i frequent (and there are several!), so i went with a green. Cost me $70 and i am very happy. He is about 10 in across, found a good spot right away and is attached in the corner of my tank (just where i wanted him to be!) and the mouth is closed.... all good signs to start with. My tank is a 125 and there is a lot of area for him to expand. I plan to wait about a week or so before i try his first feeding.
