Please reassure me

Is my condy ok I havent seen him act like this before

 

How long has it been deflated, if a short period of time, not unusual for anemones to deflate once in awhile.

Have any recent parameters to post?

 

Earlier he sucked hisself completly in and I rode to town and when I came back he was like that so I would say an hour or two maybe.... I woll post parameters as soon as I chck them

 

If he stayed that way for over 24 hours I would be concerned. They go through periods of fluid regulation (for lack of a better word), they can appear completely flaccid (again for lack of a better word) for hours and in a short time completely full again.

 

Ph 8-8.1
Ammonia <.15 ppm
Nitrite < .25 ppm
Nitrate <40ppm

 

You should have no detectable levels of ammonia or nitrite, something is a miss if this is an established tank.

Watch the anemone if it becomes detached, display a gabbing oral opening or you see a thread like substance (mesenterial filaments) protruding from the anemones's body, you may want to consider removing it.

Your nitrate level is pushing it as well, I would work at getting the parameter in line and finding out the cause of the ammonia and nitrites.

 

How did you move the tank, Rick? Did you tear it all down and then just put everything back in when you got it home?

 

Agree, you should not have detectable ammonia or nitrate in an established reef. Also, the HA in the background isn't a good sign, nems don't typically do well in that type of environment. Please give more info about the system.

 

This thread assist in it making more sense.

Not sure how tank was moved but it seems to be cycling after the move.

Watching the parameter closely, doing a water change if indicated ( if levels continue to increase). Might want to consider getting some Prime as well.

How long did it take to move the tank? Was the sand bed disturbed? Did the rock stay out of the water for any extended period of time?

 

It took about 4 or 5 hours to move and yeas the sand was disturbed... The rock stayed in water the whole time we moved all the water in 5 gallon buckets, with to rock in the buckets. And yea I know about the ha I'm just trying to find the best way to go about getting rid of it, and to get my levels back stable to hopefully keep everything healthy.
