The Aqueon LED light you have ie great for freshwater or marine fish only (not enough light and wrong color spectrum for coral/anemones). Anemones need a lots of light! Maroon clownfish are some times rough on an anemone especially if it is small, make sure they don't pick on it too much. Before changing salt and other changes i would suggest doing some water testing rather than just guessing.]]> Fri, 22 Mar 2019 00:21:45 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634922&title=anemone-help-please#634922 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

The anemone has a trusted caregiver for a bit.

I will test parameters after this work trip. I return on Friday. ]]> Sun, 03 Mar 2019 22:38:35 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634800&title=anemone-help-please#634800 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

Can you test the parameters in your tank? Also, you don't to suddenly change as the shock will be bad too. You'll want to do it gradually.]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 09:32:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634774&title=anemone-help-please#634774 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

Alright, I'll try a water change with instant ocean plain mix and see if he comes back out. He's closed up tight right now. I put a plastic mesh guard to protect from the maroon. Doesn't seem to be helping. Does anyone want to babysit while my tank chugs a long for a couple weeks?!]]> Thu, 28 Feb 2019 08:32:03 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634773&title=anemone-help-please#634773 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

Red sea coral pro had really high levels of Calc/alk/mag. If you're doing 30% water changes every couple of weeks and there's nothing in the water to use the elements, I bet you're parameters are staying that high. I personally found that the red sea coral pro parameters were too high so now I use a mix of the coral pro and the blue bucket. ]]> Wed, 27 Feb 2019 12:07:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634766&title=anemone-help-please#634766 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

Alright, I upgraded my lighting. Hopefully this will help him come back out.

Clownfish will bite or suck in the tentacles. That is normal behavior. I never found out why. After going the anemone route years ago, I found that using frog spawn or other LPS can be a great alternative. Now all of my clownfish host in my frog spawn.]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2019 11:14:09 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634749&title=anemone-help-please#634749 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

I JUST WATCHED MY FEMALE MAROON BITE THE ANEMONE.

Ugh... I've never witnessed this before.

Well....

Now he looks great first thing in the morning.




This is what I am REALLY excited for.


I am running fresh water and vinegar in display only. Wanted to ensure no leaks. Plumbing soon. I would love some help deciding how to run my overflows.]]> Tue, 26 Feb 2019 08:20:14 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=85104&PID=634738&title=anemone-help-please#634738 <![CDATA[Anemone help.

I have a skkye light over my 10 gal.  However, I think I have an 18 watt version like this

It barely seems like enough light at 18 watts.
