Nurse Nini

Okay, I'll start a new topic for this one.. My anenome has migrated to behind our rocks. I moved some around yesterday (when we had the canopy off changing the fan direction -thanks). Anyway, this morning he is on the backside of another rock. We've had him for 8 days. He was really flat last night when I turned him around, and I was a little worried about him because I could see through him (and I heard that was bad), Around 4am he was still in front, but on the move, but he was pretty full and looking good again. Anything I can do? Do I just accept that I paid for him and will never see him? Will he come back out once we put clowns in again? Lots of questions because you guys are so good at answering them.

Thanks guys. I remembered that I shouldn't get them before, but I couldn't remember why. I am hoping after we get this tank going well, to have 2 more...I want a tank between 65-110g to keep a banana eel and a few fish that will get along well with him, and then a smaller one. I know, I'm very hopeful! fish.gif Anyway, thanks for the info and the links!

I know this has nothing to do with what I originally posted, but knowing what I have in my tank, and what I want to put in it...can seahorses do well in it? Or should I wait for my next tank for those?

We've been keeping the thermostat at home on 76 24-7. In my tank right now I have 3 blue-green chromis, a bubble tip anenome, skunk shrimp, 2 peppermint shrimp, some hermits and snails. I also have some polyps coming out of some live rock that I bought. I tried a pair of black clowns, but they died. Steve at Horizon tested my water and everything is fine. The water temp is between 78-80 constantly right now, once it got up to 84, but that was a while ago when the AC was off. Ultimately I would like to have corals (haven't gotten that far, so I'm still not up to speed on the different types) a pair of clowns, and a couple of tangs. The canopy is pretty tall, prob between 18-20 inches tall...two cirlces cut out of the back for 4" fans, opens up from front, only a few inches of water is shown, it has a barrier to kinda seal off the area the lights are in. confused3.gif sorry if that's not very descriptive...I don't have a digital camera (I know I'm the last person on the planet who uses 35mm film!) so I don't have a pic I can post. I have two led moonlights mounted to the top, along with the two MH's (one is 250 (I think), and the other is 400w). My husband has not switched the flow of the fans yet, and I need to order one for the sump. Suggestions? Thanks! glasses10.gif

So, let me know your opinions....Would it be more cost effective to buy a chiller for my 110g, or change lights while selling my current ones? I have metal halides, and I didn't know if any other lighting systems might provide less heat?. dontknow.gif Anyone have any opinions on this? Thanks

Thanks! We'll change the fan direction and see how that goes!

I have two fans blowing in on the Metal Halides...which, btw..should they both be blowing in, or out, or one in and one out? I read on Maast to have them both blowing in, so that's what we are doing. What are icecap fans? confused5.gif Sorry, we are new to the salt water tanks...we have fresh water tanks and a pond, but there is soooo much more involved in salt. We need to figure something out...the AC is on 76 all day so the house is pretty cool. Thanks for the help! and the welcome!

Can anyone recommend a good chiller (that doesn't cost an arm and a leg)? We have a 110g and we can't get the temp to stay constant under 80. My husband said that we may need to get a chiller...any suggestions? Thanks! fish.gif
