what are the tank dimensions?

For those who think I only like acros, here's some other pieces I'm cooking

what are your tank parameters and what did you do to dip and/or acclimate?

I've found that the trick is getting them situated and happy, and then moving their rock to the peripherals of the tank to allow more room for SPS. Once these anemones anchor their foot down, you really have to piss them off to get them to move. Mine have never moved off their rock, or even moved around on the rock they're currently on. The only time I saw some movement was when I was cleaning the pumps in the tank and left them off for about an hour. At that point one anemone started inflating it's foot and expanding its disc to find where the flow went. Once the flow resumed, it went back to its normal densely packed tentacles.

 

I have gradually moved the anemone rock to the corner of the tank where there isn't as much light, but still plenty of flow. They're happy with their spot and haven't moved. They don't stretch out either like I've seen with other anemones. The only problem is they just keep growing more and more tentacles and getting bigger and bigger. Originally I thought I would be able to fit three mags on this rock, but now I'm wondering if I'll have to get rid of one anemone so I can have room for one massive one in the future if it keeps growing. A gorgeous anemone species, but you definitely need a good sized tank to comfortably keep one or more.

I noticed from my trolling you seemed to have less success with SPS around the 2015 era.  You joked that you were very good at killing them.  What would you consider the main differences in your reef keeping or equipment, if any, that would contribute to your ability to maintain SPS?

I apologize for the creepiness in advance, I am trying to read as much as I can in order to make this SPS thing work.

This is 2 bags of sand. I have a 3rd cured. Should I put it in too?

There's a sensor on the front that detects light, so if the cabinet is closed, they will turn off, when you expose light by opening the door, they will turn on.

I scrolled and read a bunch, but can you save me some time and clue me in as to what brought about all this extraordinary change? I'm looking forward to seeing what you experience.

My live rock and substrate is riddled with Aiptasia, Trash Palys and Gsp to the point it's killing coral and ruining my enjoyment of the hobby. I'm replacing all my rock and substrate. While the tank is empty, I'm going to make a few hardware and tank improvements.

Is that a red coris wrasse in softy land? Does it give you any trouble?

Or just Adios Mofos in quotes

I leave the second canister slightly unscrewed until the water level rises. This "burps" the system. I then can a just flow with a valve off and on and it usually pushes the remainder of the air out. As long as your tumble is set you should be fine. When I haven't burped the syetem, the air has escaped over time.

Worked like a charm! Thanks sir!

I was just asking Ty why you took off your BML fixture. You not happy with LEDs?

BRS...they are the 14" mesh bags, not cloth. They clean alot easier and filter just as good.

Thx

where did you get those slick filter socks you talked to me about? you told me but I forgot
