aviator300 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Do you mean a Majano anemone ? Link to comment
CD_Scapes Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 I also want to do a tank like this one, keep us updated on stuff Link to comment
CoolGuy77 Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 You know what they say, once you go majano, you never go back. Mainly because you can't get them out of your tank. Link to comment
bandit1994 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 i know this is a tank just for them as i like them but they dont play nice with corals Link to comment
SunWyrm Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Seen some cool pest picos on here like you're talking about, they look like a lot of fun. Trying to find some and I came across this thread with some really pretty majanos; they look like tiny btas. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/304826-majano-anemones-pests/ Looks like Majanos have quite a few fans.

vlangel Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 You know what they say, once you go majano, you never go back. Mainly because you can't get them out of your tank. Ha ha, that made me laugh. But seriously, all creatures are beautiful in their own way and it think what bandit is proposing could probably work. There is really no reason why you couldn't have some decorative macro algae for nutrient export as well. I think a light that would support the majanos would also grow macro algae. Link to comment

bandit1994 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 would i need a heater for it and i am way ahead of yall with the macro algae Link to comment
SunWyrm Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Depends on the temperature fluctuation and where it's at. But I'm always more comfortable keeping a heater. The tiny betta ones always give out on me, but maybe someone can chime in with a better recommendation. Link to comment
Beer Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I've done well with the Deep Blue Betta Stik. But they are constant on, like most of the smaller heaters, and can easily overheat stuff under 3 gallons since they aren't adjustable. Neotherm has the only adjustable heater under 25W that I know of, but they are fairly expensive. Although reliable from my understanding. You can get temperature controllers for around $15 from Amazon (STC1000) which have a separate heating and cooling circuit. I've been running one with a Betta Stik for over a year and a half with my sumped 1/2 vase with no issues. The smaller heaters are typically set for tropical freshwater fish, which is a few degrees higher than a reef tank, so the heater is always on when the controller cycles but shouldn't run so hot that everything in the tank is cooked if the controller were to fail on. The inhabitant won't be happy, but they won't die. I've got a really beautiful majano, which was sold to me under false pretenses. I know better than to buy something unresearched, but the store owner seemed really sincere. I got had. $15 for a pest anenomie. Thankfully I've been able to guide it to unobtrusive areas when it has wandered and it hasn't spread, yet. A tank like this could be really awesome. The great thing is that they are fairly indestructible and are suited well for a really small low maintenance tank. There are some really amazing and beautifully colored majanos. Link to comment
bandit1994 Posted March 27, 2016 Author Share Posted March 27, 2016 and they dont really need a heater they can and do in the wild grow in water as cold as 62 and they stay small and beer if you ever want it out of there hit me up i will even pay you for it Link to comment
