Game Room + New tank = Questions always! :)

Grinch · Sep 15, 2020

As the title says, I built myself a little Throne Room if you will and wanted to add an aquarium. I have had a 75G and a 34G Bio Cube years back but my desk needed something small. Got a 14G Nano.

Questions are...

Is the height correct on the carbon filter canister? The instructions aren't too clear.
Is this BTA happy? I put him in about 3 days or so ago and just fed him a little silverside and just curious. He isn't as open and flowing as the ones in the store.

Any other comments or help/questions are always appreciated.

Happy to be back in the hobby!

Garrett

Welcome! Not sure about your filter. The anemone may take a little bit to open assuming light/flow/parameters are good.

What kind of lighting are you using? The nem doesn't look particularly happy but I've definitely seen worse

Welcome to the community man! Nice man cave.
I'm not sure about the canister, as I've never had one. The BTA doesn't look all too happy but it also doesn't look unhappy per se. All anemones I've had look like that after a feeding, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.
