Hi all reefers, When i first started out my 2ft nano tank, i only had live rocks and sand. Flitration wise, its a back overflow tank, so I'm having standard sponge, bio balls, ceramic pills and a protein skimmer Running on LED lights only ~ Temp no fan , only air con at night as it sits in my room so when I'm home there is air con. Question here ! After less than one month of cycling my tank, i decided to get a pair of clownfish as starter fish and then i was tempted to get a RBTA to go with it. P.S its not my first tank And so yes i did it, went back home, drip acclimate the RBTA and threw the pair of clownfish into the same bag to get them use to it before placing them into the tank after an hour or so of acclimating. Results are the RBTA was doing well, first few days it went hiding but later it came out, clownfishes are hosting it great ! Throughout the months i notice the bubbles are not that bubble anymore ! i suspect my parameters are not good which i agree my system is quite lousy 5 months passes, its still doing fine, all open up feeding on mysis, rotifer mixed. Sadly clownfish dies due to ich as i introduce in a blue tang... That where my RBTA starts to get cranky !! it moves a little higher to a spot for 2 weeks, than now its behind a rock but opening up on the edge hanging out there prettily My concerns are, my RBTA tends to close and opens up a lot ! sometimes in bloats up, mouth open, bleaching color and tentacles are not bubbly. But sometimes it looks great ? It has been about 6 months since I've got it, i didn't expect it to be so hardy but i still can't really figure it out. it didn't grew much but it did not move around the entire tank, going upside down or mouth opening all the time. Most of the time its wide open, mouth close. clownfish swims near it, rubbing it very loving. I do 10% weekly water changes, filter sponge changes Was planning to upgrade my LED lights to better one ? and also re introduce a new pair of clownfish ? Also can i get another bigger RBTA as previously my clownfish tends to fight a lot for it as its really a small anemone which can only fit one in it.

Hello All, Ive always got issues with my tank having brown algae invading my entire white clean sandbed Any tips on how to prevent it ? I was told to get a strong skimmer and hermit crabs but my crabs aren't really doing the job !! They tend to just walk all over the rocks instead of shifting sand.. Thanks =)

Hi All, I've been into Saltwater fishes for a year already. Currently having a 2ft tank really simple set up just LED lightings, a hang on back filter with ceramic and a wave maker. Nothing much though? inside my tank has only sand, no live rock and a pair of clownfish. Was wanting to expand my tank/hobby ! Hoping to find out where can i buy cheap 2.5ft or 3ft tank with those overflow compartment at the back so i can add a skimmer and more bio filtration to be able to keep more fishes and hoping for corals ~ Any advise on where can i get cheap tanks ? or anyone selling a cheap 3ft tank with back overflow compartment. Budget wise about $100 to $200 only ~ Appreciate it !
