Acielot Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 People seem to dislike reading or for the most part are too ignorant to see the pics. The only thing I would do is use less rock and use a shallower/wider tank. 1 Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 So do fish, and these lucky ones get too live in a tiny space with their natural host that will trap them once it's 2 feet in diameter. Lol........... So you do not happen to know that anemones will not overgrow the tank, therefore being stunted. It's just like how you add a blue tang in a 24g....it's not going to get any bigger than 4" ever. I find it fine that way. Whoever owns it gets to do whatever he or she wants. It's not against the law. This guy must of gotten most of his aquarium knowledge from KristinCm or Fishgirl. Wow, my IQ just dropped 10 pts from reading this thread. Lol. Good!!!

In addition, that wonderful 'stunting' destroys the animal from the inside out. 3 Link to comment
reefone Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Just cause the nem is still alive does not mean anything they can take months to show signs they are dying. I owned one for years just like the one in op's pic. Op. if ur going to keep the nems get some sand as they like to burry their foot. Also breaking its foot loose and taking it out of the tank is a good way to damage it and kill it. U can drain the tank and just leave the nem in its spot. It will not hurt it to be out of the water for a little bit. Most times after u cut them they die. Theses nems are not able to be propagated like others can be. So no more cutting. Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 So basically everything you've done with this tank goes against everything that has been recommended over many years here on NR. Most of us here are trying to help you not bash you. This is definitely not the road to success for a first nano reef. The op has the choice to take our advice or ignore it. Also to note, you are more than likely putting a ton of stress on the anemone moving it around doing 100% water changes. I would at least upgrade to a much larger system (40g+) capable of housing the inhabitants properly. Link to comment
ClaytonG Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 yes yes because 5 inch clownfish are great for tiny tanks Along with an anemone that could get easily 20in in diameter Looks good though, maybe some anem crabs and shrimp would be better along with minimaxis instead of big carpet nems Neither are that size at the moment. We don't know his plans. Find a better soap box. 3 Link to comment

nobodyhasthisname Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Amazing response Guys,i am suprised.My thread sure did create a wave out there. ******READ THIS FIRST IMPORTANT****** Now all of you folks out there are surprised and i know the reason,the fact is all of you folks would basically read the stuff over the internet or some great books that talks about how to use certain product that will help you to be successful,now don't get me wrong out there what you read,for most part that is true.But when was the last time you did something different and bend the rules a bit,Imagine living in a third world country where LIVE ROCK and CORALS are completely banned,where it is very hard for you to have quality products.Then is where instincts kicks in.This was just a mere experiment the anemone cost me only $12 Canadian dollar,buy the way i myself am paid in Canadian dollar,though i am in INDIA,And yes i do care for the anemone very much,i mean it.I am going to give some good quality time in this topic and let you guys go through the process.Its been a great learning experience for me.And for you guys i believe its something like this http://www.indiamike.com/india/attachments/17935d1305860230-bargaining-with-autorickshaws-sixonascooter.jpg Here are a few updates,the anemones seems to be doing well the smaller one seems to have attached.Sorry about the dirty glass,i will clean it i promise http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/14/20130125104540.jpg/][/url] http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/194/20130125104531.jpg/][/url] 1 Link to comment

marine_fanaticz Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Haha reading the all the bashing makes me laugh.. Anyways, back to the topic, I think there's enough room for a pair.. If they get bigger, then trade them. They aren't gonna get big overnight. It's not like you're keeping tangs and stuff. What's the point I having a pico then? Just to keep shrimps, snails? I think as long as you are able to maintain good water quality is ok. 1 Link to comment
jestep Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I could really care less about the clowns or the tank or any of it. Even the fact that these can reach 36" across. My whole point is that the anemone is not going to survive propagation. There is no: maybe it will make it, oh it looks good now, maybe you'll get lucky, don't worry about the haters... If you propagate one of these it will die. These are not BTA's. They cannot be propagated. If you do any research on the hundreds of times that people have tried, including professionals and institutions, they all fail. Like I said he could have conceivably made this thing work until he cut the nem. Now it's just a matter of time. Link to comment
