corriewf Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 Originally posted by 3gEclipseGuy Did those puffers take a bite out of the clowns tail? I like all your bubbles. Yeah noob , we will see what your tank looks like after a year and half if you can keep one stable that long.What concerns me is the fact that you put a rbta in a new tank with a lack of proper lighting and you didnt even know a hermit crab molting is normal.I am not saying that as a beginner you should know this ,I am saying that a beginner shouldnt be attempting a rbta.Sure your tank looks good now ,but the true test is time in this hobby, my young padawan. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=36146 Link to comment
Whitten Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Ouch... but I think he might have meant the bubble corals. Link to comment

3gEclipseGuy Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Corrie has anger management issues. I did mean the bubble corals. As for lighting on a RBTA, another member has dispelled the lighting myth with this site: http://home.att.net/~karenssaltwate...eID-697114.html check it out.... you'll learn something about RBTA. Been feeding silver sides and it's doing well. Link to comment

Thanks jag.I cant wait for all my frags to fill in some of the empty spots.Your tank is awesome and I striving to have a similar effect in mine. Corrie has anger management issues. I did mean the bubble corals. As for lighting on a RBTA, another member has dispelled the lighting myth with this site: http://home.att.net/~karenssaltwate...eID-697114.html Ok ,lets just say for the sake of conversation that the rbta has no lighting requirements , they do require a very stable enviroment.Do you think you can provide that?Anemones can be very dirty ,as you said your feeding him alot.That food and poop is gonna cause spikes in ammonia and nitrite and nitrate.RBTA like your other inhabitants dont like those being present in the water so unless you keep that in check your gonna have one dead anemone.Since our tanks are so small one dead rbta means one crashed nano.Oh and thats not to mention that it will soon out grow your tank..........So have fun and again show me some pics of your tank in a year and a half buddy.

I'm not worried about that b/c of regular water changes. The second thing you mention is more of a problem. I can see it getting bigger already. I'll need to trade it in for something else eventually. Any suggestions on a good small anemone for nano's? Bubbles? like you got or Torches? They seem pretty good. PS- I will definitely post pics in a year and half. Link to comment
corriewf Posted August 13, 2004 Author Share Posted August 13, 2004 I would suggest an atlantic flower anemone like the one I have on page two.They stay in one spot and dont grow that much.They come in lots of different colors.Do a search under.. atlantic flower anemone ..and you will pull up another thread of mine with some pics of different colored ones.
