jetski250 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 bro ambystoma, many thanks for this lovely addition of orange-tipped gbta to my collection.. This could be SGR photo of the month! If there's such a thing. Pls keep us updated on how the anemones are doing as very interested to know how they fare long term. Not a whole lot of reliable research I have come across.

SRC Member vt_snowman87 Posted March 16, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 16, 2011 Bro, that's a gorgeous anemone island. Very tempting indeed! Your clownfishes are spoiled for choice. spoilt for choices indeed.. a lil boring to see 1 pair only.. but oh wells, no other choices i guess.. bro i have a pair of nem shrimps and they do no harm to my nems in any way really? thats great.. i'm still pretty skeptical about these inverts though.. haha.. thanks anyway! Very nice collection of anemones! I LOVE Anemones!!! how do you get there all to congregate at the same area and NOT move around? LOL Ketchup + desi, thanks, i love anemones too, thats why decided to give this idea a shot.. since Henry came in some gorgeous BTAs last few shipments.. they're all on a 'island' separated from the rest of my rockworks, and i believe the trick is to shelter their foot.. i'm still a week in only, time will tell whether they decide to wreck havoc.. fingers crossed.. Lovely collection of Anemones thanks bro iceman! your haddoni is gorgeous too! This could be SGR photo of the month! If there's such a thing. Pls keep us updated on how the anemones are doing as very interested to know how they fare long term. Not a whole lot of reliable research I have come across. Cheers thanks bro! btas are considered one of the easiest and more forgiving anemones.. i will update here on their progress as i'm monitoring them closely now as well.. cheers!

vincegoh Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 bro ambystoma, many thanks for this lovely addition of orange-tipped gbta to my collection.. Nice Not easy for them to stay at one location when you initially place them in. How you do that? Something to note... once the condition changes, e.g. lighting or current, they will start moving...

Something to note... once the condition changes, e.g. lighting or current, they will start moving... hi vincegoh, i dare not say i've 'succeeded' because its still too early to tell.. time will tell.. i'm still monitoring them closely, and for now (few days only) it seems safe. yes u are spot-on that BTAs have tendencies to migrate when conditions tweak even slightly, i try to minimize that by firstly providing a 'sweet spot' for their bases.. they seem to like their foot being sheltered, and in a crevice.. the rest is up to lighting and flow.. lower flows seem to be preferred as well.. lastly i feed them regularly, with small pieces of mysis or shrimp, easy on digestion..

RTNed with brown slime overnight.. rescued some frags, hopefully they will survive.. haiz.. weird.. all 3 pieces of chilli peppers, at 3 different locations, all melted (like a softie, leaving only skeleton).. each of the frag is at least 3 inches big.. i wonder why.. 1st casualty: 2nd casualty: 3rd casualty: Quote (Decommissioned) http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/92504-full-sps-shallow/?page=9 (Decommissioned) http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/69803-vincs-2ft-cube-tank/?page=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member vt_snowman87 Posted March 28, 2011 Author SRC Member Share Posted March 28, 2011 recent changes: 1. switched to salt-mix (tropicmarin) 2. tried minute vodka dosing since last month (most likely this is the reason) 3. BTA additions, possible chemical warfare? 4. CO2 ran out, CR not working, calcium dropped to 380, but most likely no big effect Quote (Decommissioned) http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/92504-full-sps-shallow/?page=9 (Decommissioned) http://www.sgreefclub.com/forum/topic/69803-vincs-2ft-cube-tank/?page=19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsontantw Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 Sorry to hear this Vincent. Do a quick check on your KH. Not sure if it's QC problem or some shop selling "expired" TM salt, I suffered same thing last month. 2 colonies STN. Reason: sudden drop of Kh (during water change).. I measured the new saltmix, and kh reading was a low 3! And ca only 250++. As a result my tank's Kh is only 6... Very bad. I kinda gave away the entire bucket of salt. Btw I have a ready frag of chilling pepper, stable and growing. Let me know if you need k. Quote decommissioned 2.5x2x2 Videos: | | Your mind is like a parachute. It only works when it is open.

( or ur resins exhausted their lifespan?) most likely vodka dosing is the culprit,vodka got chemical reaction with the magnesium but still rtn within one night is too fast,perharps u shld take the experiments slowly..
