1 question is the clown rough in nem?
2 i like the setting under the one circled but not light expert

I don’t see how dosing aminos would hurt the anemone, but I’ve never tried it, so don’t make your decision off of this post alone.

Sorry, I am not familiar with that product and not sure. I don’t see how it would negatively affect the anemone, but perhaps someone else knows. That also may be a good topic for the chemistry forum.

That's alright. I'll prob start a new thread and ask about that then.

Thanks for your input though

It doesn't to be *too* rough with it, but I want to separate it just in case it is.

And the circled one looks good to you? What are your lights like?

Yeah, I'll do another thread on it.

And, I just want your opinion (if you even have one). In the last post I posted (the one that has the circled light on it), do you have any preference on any of the presets for it?

I might do another thread on the light alone and see what the rest of you guys have to say about it.

URGENT UPDATE: Alright guys, this is NOT good at all. I think the nem's insides are coming out now, and its tentacles seem to be turning a dark color/turning to mush? Is it time to take it out now?!

This poor nem, man...

Sorry for the clown being in the way.. I try my best with these pics, haha. I'll try again inna minute.

As for isolating the clown, I think I'm just gonna buy a breeder box for now and put him in it. I was trying to order a box on Amazon, but my order never went in for some reason.. What a waste of time! :/

Alright, so I tried my best to take pics without the clown in it. I tried prodding around with this long glass scraper I had, but it didn't really do much. Either way, this was the best I was able to do now. I'll try again tonight when the light dims.

As for the nem, its insides seem to be going back in, so I'm assuming that's a good sign..

Yeah, I'll do that as soon as I can.

Random question though, what kind of light do you use for your tank? And how long do you keep it on?

I would try a different preset for the AI Prime. try the Saxby settings or AB+. You can download them on the AI Facebook group or directly from the AI website.

Hmm, I've been told to try that light schedule out.. Do you have the link so I can download it?

1Meshy · Feb 26, 2020

Update: It's been a while since my last post. The anemone is still hangin on, and it seems to be alright atm.

One big change I've done recently is change my old light schedule to BRS's AB+ schedule. I currently have it at 65% intensity and will gradually go up to its maximum intensity in about two weeks. Many have recommended me this schedule, so imma give it a go and see how the nem and corals react. :]

What’s your email? I can email you
My light schedule, when I get home. I run a lot of Blues just like wwc . My nems are super happy and I’ve notice them super happy and open. This is what works best for me. Sorry for the late reply.
