Do you feed the nems?

Absolutely feed nems. I feed fresh salmon and my nems love it (make sure it has no additives if farm rasied and try to get wild caught if possible).

Pretty Cool

Do you plan on selling some ?

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Do you plan on selling some ?

Yes, but not just yet. I want to have a brood stock that is sustainable. I sold one to a local reefer last week and had sellers remorse before I got home from the meeting. But I used the $ to get some cipro for future additions (if needed).

Cool keep us update great Job on everything !!

Have you thought about some marine pure ceramic media to help prevent a crash again?

I really enjoyed reading through this thread. I'm curious if you've read anything about raising alk to get natural splits.

Do you have a target number in mind?

 

[Ellery]

Great work.... I never had the balls to slice one... I've grown a bunch to about 12" diameter and miss them ever since I converted to all Acros. Someday I'll have an all Anemone Specific tank. The BTA's that are available today are so much nicer than the green and roses I originally had.

I'll be following along closely. I've only bifurcated mine once so far and don't plan on taking it to your level (yet) ...but truly inspiring!!! Good luck, look's like you're doing all you can to stack the odds in your favor.

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Do you have a target number in mind?

Enough to move 30/month (not saying I will find a market for that number)
~sell 30
~30 healing
~60 brood stock

I have 100lbs of LR - Bio pellets - carbon - skimmer on there right now. I did meet the owner of Marine Pure @ MACNA. Real nice guy. As soon as I get a business permit I will order up some wholesale samples (damaged blocks) to see how they perform. As far as inducing 'natural splits', I have not looked in to it. My reasons for sticking with using a blade are simple; how is artificially stressing the nem 'natural'? It's not. I see the knife as a quick, clean, proven method that leaves an even cut to heal. Stressors, cause stress! Then the nem rips itself in two, leaving an uneven would for healing. JMO.

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Nothing new, just adding pics for documentation.

 

[chelltom]

How fast do they grow and at what size do you decide to cut ? Thanks

 

[ProjectAnemone]

Depends on which strain. This is my quickest 'reproducer'. I got this on in January and it is now 11, of which 4 are ready to be cut right now.

And then I have this guy I picked up in late Feb. It was the size of a nickel, now, nine months later, it's the size of a quarter.

 

[chelltom]

How big would you say an anemone needs to be to host a clown without the clown damaging it ?

What intensity do you keep your LEDs at? I know nems need high light, but how high do you have yours?
