Kakani Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Guy, I got 2 anemone and they die off and melt off. Any reason why they are slowing melt off? No luck at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member spkentchai Posted May 13, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 13, 2012 I think the water condition is very important....3months is a long time and hard to keep our itchy hands off LFS....if you know what I mean.... My tank is about the same period....i have tube, carpet, RBTA, GBTA.....so far ok...change 10% water every 2 weeks, add in trace element, Iodine and other stuff...maybe feeding is important too....

All the coral very healthy expect anemone. Can you list out your water parameters such as PO4,No2, No3,pH, Kh, Ammonia, CA,Mg...etc. How big is your tank and what lighting are you using?

SRC Member spkentchai Posted May 15, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted May 15, 2012 bro, how about food? Does any of your clown host it and bring food to them? If not, maybe need to target feed...for season tank...a lot of living organism for them to eat....for our tank maybe need to feed a bit.
