150g Anemone Prop System

Ambient room temp - keeping costs down and nems are happy.



The old mouth just pinches together and heals.



$$$$$$$$$

I will be in Cali next week and hope to pop into coralcollection to see their premium stock - just for fun, not a buying trip


I'm thinking of redoing the whole set up. Things are not progressing as I had hoped.

However they progress, this thread has been a great inspiration. Not many people share so much about their setup.

Coral collection is closed.
Do you know why? I normally look at their site to see what's going on in America for it all. Have any recommendations for another website or store for eyecandy?
 
update please :) i think ill be selling of some of my extra build equipment to fund a nems farm. not easy but got my blood boiled after reading all this lol
 
Nothing much to report - battling algae issues and time constraints. My son's ice hockey started up again so all weekends are booked till spring! That also takes away most of the discretionary $$$$. I tore down two other tanks last week, my LPS prop tank and my 'not much of a display' tank. All was moved to the tub with the nems. I'm also moving some walls and adding a new display.

As for the nems, they look healthy and fat. Colors are not what they were, but heath is more important at this point. Pics when I have time.
 
Algae is gone but now the tub is packed with corals from two local reefers. I'm hosting LPS form a tank reboot/upgrade, and then I'm babying a boat load of SPS from a tank crash. I just don't see the whole nem propagation thing working the way I planned.

I enjoyed the thread. I hope things come back around for you.

Only 1 clown in the tub it has no access rights to the nems. I would love to find a way to dump the baskets and get 50 baby clowns.

Cut two nems last night after running the ceramic knife through my finger. Getting nematocysts in an open wound is less than fun.
 
Awesome thread and read. I hope to see more from this project. How many anemones do you have now?
