You're probably ok, but I'd just keep a close eye on things. In my tank, a couple big water changes can make things fluctuate a little bit more than normal. I'd give it a little time to calm down and then it's time for a new anem!]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2013 19:17:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=543105&title=jebao-blender-anemone#543105 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : Tested water this morningAmmonia...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=543059&title=jebao-blender-anemone#543059 Author: Erikts

Tested water this morning Ammonia Nitrate and nitrite all 0 or very close to it.  Coral all looks good this morning.  I am mixing a water change for today.  Am I out of the weeds or is there more bad to come? ]]> Sat, 09 Nov 2013 10:13:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=543059&title=jebao-blender-anemone#543059 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : +1 what everyone said.

+1 what everyone said. I had an anem die earlier this year and thought my whole tank would die. As soon as I did a 50% change everything turned around. I did weekly 20% changes for the next month as well.

On a side note, I just had another anem sucked into my intake as well. The foot was still attached to the side of the power head so I let it be. All the tentacles were ripped off, but it's starting to heal it's foot and little tentacle nubs are starting to grow. Pretty lucky.]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 13:31:27 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542974&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542974 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : Nitrate spike is the least of...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542964&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542964 Author: Krazie4Acans

Nitrate spike is the least of your worries. A death that large will cause decay which will spike your ammonia and your Nitrite before you have to worry about any Nitrate. I would test ammonia as that is your first clue to what is to come. ]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 11:14:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542964&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542964 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : The decay will wreck havoc. ]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542962&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542962 Author: Dion Richins

Thanks for the replies.  I did a 10% change and added the extra carbon.  I have the RO unit working overtime to make some extra water and I will do a 50% change in the morning.  

Everything seems to be doing fine so far.  With a dead anemone is the main concern the nitrate spike from the decay?  What other parameters should I be testing and watching.

I would definitely do a large water change if I were you. I had this happen once with a large anemone in my tank and did a 100% water change. I did another 50% the next day. Everything got stressed out but everything lived with the exception of a sailfin tang that died before the first water change.]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 10:33:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542954&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542954 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : ...Edited by Fatman - November102013...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542952&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542952 Author: Fatman

Side note. If you have the capability do a VERY large water change. I wouldn't hesitate in 80%.]]> Fri, 08 Nov 2013 09:48:51 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=67508&PID=542943&title=jebao-blender-anemone#542943 <![CDATA[Jebao Blender !Anemone! : I know it will work.

I know it will work.
Of course, it won't look snug like the one pictured but the idea is to make it larger than the stock strainer so the suction at any one point is diffused/spread over a larger area. Sew together a basket that fits around the pump with some room to spare and a large open end where the water shoots out.
Another thing that could work is a Swamp cooler strainer basket with a large hole cut in the bottom where the water shoots out. It's white so it's more noticeable than the black needlepoint, but it would be simpler to do. On second thought, the holes may be too large and the anemone would crawl through. I'd have think more about that. Ermm

Anything we can conceive can be made to work.
