    This last friday I purchased a 90 gallon aquarium, which is a big upgrade from my 65 gallon. I spent all day saturday transferring tanks with help from a buddy, and 7 20 gallon containers. I even washed the sand bed out! Everything came out great, and the rock scape looks even better then it did before. Last night I purchased my first Nem, I got a GBTA and added it to my tank, I placed it on the rock where I wanted it, and after wondering around that rock for about 2 hours, it found a spot at the bottom of rock by the sand bed, and has not moved. It has been there since 10 last night, I shut off 2 of the 3 of my powerheads so if it came loose, it wouldent get tossed about, if the nem has been there since 10 last night and has not moved, is it pretty safe to assume that it will not move now? Thanks for your help!

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Nice system very cleaning looking.

    50/50 shot on the Anemone not moving, BTA's move, especially when newly introduced.

    If you can cover the power heads with knee high stockings or similar covers until the Anemone acclimates that would be a good idea.

    Good luck on the Anemone staying where you put it or like it.

    Looks good, my BTA acutally stayed in one spot for a few days then moved. It did this for a couple weeks till it seemed like it found a spot it liked. I hope it stays for you! I know at one point it moved to the back of the tank and could barely see it. Good luck and nice tank!!

    Picture of my new GBTA

    My new GBTA has hardly moved since its initial placement, I turned on the last two powerheads yesterday afternoon and it moved maybe 1.5 inches to get out of the flow, but has remained pretty much the same. Im pretty happy with it, hopefully my GBTA will host my clown soon. This morning it was pretty closed up, but that was just because the lights were off im assuming.
