Green Bubble tip anemone

mandi29221 · May 18, 2019

Why wouldn't my anemone bubble up? It use to look like picture number 2. Now it just stays like picture number 1. Nothing as changed. My parameters are great. Like
0 ammonia
0 nitrites
30 nitrates
460 calcium
1480 magnesium
10.2 kh
8.2 ph.

It eats all the time.....

Feed it, experiment moving it to areas in your tank with different lighting intensities. Also, change water flow. Trial and error.

Oooo a month and a half is still quite unstable...i assumed with as long as youve been posting that the tank was running longer...80 is borderline where id start to worry if it was prolonged myself. Can you run a fan over the top of the tank?
Do you run gfo or macro algae to lower phosphates?
As for the cyano...i find new tanks always go through it. Keep up on your maintenance,try to lower phos a bit, and whay type of lighting do you have?

Not familiar with those lights...but they look reef capable with a 24x24 spread. What are you running them at?

That is not good...did you set a fan up? Can u aim a powerhead at the surface?
And what intensities are your lights at and how long are they on?
