Bubble tips Anemones

[magern2]

Does any one know if got special requirement for this anemone?

I got two PL tubes for lighting and chiller and good filter system.

What do I feed it?

tanks.

Anemones need more than PL lights. How many watts are your lights?

[magern2]

My PLs are 28Ws. 1 blue and 1 white.

Low nitrates, close to 0 ppm if possible.

Well you can feed them either market prawns or the ghost shrimps 1 a week or 2 times if you have poor lighting!!!

Oh Dear. is my writing that poor?

bubble tips are one've the hardier anemones but have been known to wander all over the tank. There are cases where they stay put for a long time but next thing u know they wander into your wavemakers and pumps. cityofangels lost a beautiful specimen fairly recently.

bubbletips are more tolerant to nitrate levels, like fuel said, as close to 0 as possible but don't try to kill yourself doing it as maintaining nitrates at 0 ppm is not an easy thing.

Lightings wise, IMO i think PL's are possible depending on how deep your tank is, mine is in a small tank and it is quite shallow, hence i think my PL is sufficient as i put it in direct blast. If your light is enough, feeding is not necessary but if you think you want to feed it, feed small pieces of market prawn, around the size of the mouth of the anemone. So generally:

1.Good water conditions(low nitrates)

2.Sufficient water flow(they need current to remove waste slime)

3.Enough lights

4.Food(optional if have enough lights but remember small pieces if u do feed)
