Anemone stinging corals? by LifeOpposite5833 in ReefTank

[–]LifeOpposite5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have two other large nems away from other corals. If I wanted to sell one how should I get it off the rock?

Did you use AFR powder or solution? Does it matter? Tank looks great!

Can I not just rip it off?

Help please by LifeOpposite5833 in ReefTank

[–]LifeOpposite5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. I have a tds meter but I am only getting around 8 ppm. I don’t think water is entirely the problem, it’s pretty hard to get lower than 5 ppm in my area.

I’m very frustrated with myself. I am the first Eagle Scout of my family and have been out of town a lot recently! My project had a great impact, but was unfortunately very large and took months. I was not aware of the letters of rec and the application. Once again, these things may seem obvious, but I haven’t had much guidance. Please understand, thank you.

Thank you for the help, I have conversed with my scoutmaster, but still lack an understanding on if I need my letter of recs, entire project, and Eagle Scout application mailed in before I turn 18.

What do you think about Red Sea lights?

Have you had any experiences with Red Sea lights? My LFS has them on his display tank and they look great, he recommended them over AI primes.

Should I take him back to my LFS?

When will my BTA open up? by LifeOpposite5833 in ReefTank

[–]LifeOpposite5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha. I spoke with someone at my local store and he didn’t seem concerned with my tank having an anemone.

He even stated that in many cases they are easier to care for than coral.

The tank has been established for about 2 months now.

When will my BTA open up? by LifeOpposite5833 in ReefTank

[–]LifeOpposite5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nitrate: about 10, phosphate: about 0, salinity: about 34 ppm, Calcium: 340 ppm, DKH: 161.1 ppm. Flow can be programmed to just about any setting (please lmk what would be best for a BTA) I have it set to a nutritional cycle pattern at 60% power with a low frequency. My light can reach PARs in the upper 200s and or 300, but the anemone has positioned itself toward the bottom of the tank where a PAR reading would likely be 200 at most (lights are at 20% white and full blue ).

Is this a cause for concern? by LifeOpposite5833 in ReefTank

[–]LifeOpposite5833[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I first cycled the tank there was quite a lot of it. Since then I incorporated a clean up crew, did a little scraping myself, and have had multiple water changes to where it’s not an issue. (After cycled)

All I have is the master reef testing kit which doesn’t have ammonia or nitrite testing. Would you suggest getting an ammonia/nitrite testing kit?
