BTA in intake! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!

So just yesterday I bought a BTA...this morning I'm awoken by my wife saying, "Uh oh, trouble in the tank!" I rush out there to see our lovely new anem that our Clarkii has immediately hosted in, sucked into stupid filter intake. OY! I turned it off and pulled the whole unit out. 70% of the anem was lost..I have one small portion that somehow still has a foot and tentacles and is actually alive and moving it's tentacles as we speak. I'm paying super close attn to it, waiting for signs of leaking , or anything else that may clue me into it's "expiration". Is there anything else I should be doing?

 

Yes, taking pictures for us!

 

Ok...new on here and hopefully can figure it out...gimme a few!

 

run some carbon

 

Here's 1...you can see the BTA at base of LR at far left

 

another question, how olds your tank? if not quite established, i.e a year , its too soon to nave a nem.

 

And here it is after what was left fell to tank bottom and attached to rock. You can almost see the frown on Mr. Clarkii.

 

cool rock. I agree run carbon to help with any toxins. As long as it attached to some rock and doesn't float around, it may survive.

 

Oh it's new. Just a cpl months actually. When you say run carbon what does that mean...sry such a nooblet question but....

Also, I am running a Penguin Bio 200..carbon in that filter what you mean?

 

yes...get some carbon in that filter. You can buy carbon from any fish store (it looks like crushed charcoal). Comes in a pouch that you an just toss in your filter, or comes in a container and you have to fill a media bag with it and toss it in your filter. I would recommend getting a small pouch of it. Chemi-pure is a good idea too.
