I know this is weird to ask

When this hobby started in 1971 we tried to keep aiptasia and mojanos alive because they were the only inverts we could get. I used to feed them and cultivate them, but they still died. Our tanks were kind of sucky then and It would be hard to keep a moose alive. :D

Why do you think they were so hard to keep alive back then? We're you using NSW? Or some kind of table salt? Maybe your failures back then could be somebody's success today lol
 
Our tanks were not reefs. The rocks were dead and we almost always kept copper in our tanks because although we thought all fish were spotted, it was actually Ich. :rolleyes:
 
I joined the aptaisa jar band wagon. My LFS had this beauty that he was happy to donate to my project. It's in a Mason jar with some sand from my tank, couple small rocks and some cheato. Im gonna get a air stone and maybe rig up a single LED.

whatt!! i want the black one aswell... i think black aiptaisia is pretty rare...
 
guys do you have some extra colorful majano anemone... i bought this “minicompletetank” its a micro tank and it has a freaking sump..... and im planning on putting majano anemone on it.. it actually has a decent led light that comes with it...
 
do you guys have majano anemone you can sell to me..? i ask the selling forum and well they are not responding
 
Most people kill them when they see them but hey you never know. I will keep an eye out for one and let you know If I find any. What state do you live in?
 
I never thought I'd try to keep aptaisa, let alone spend money on equipment and feed one to keep it alive. I bought a $4 LED to put over the jar and it seems to like it lol but I like this thing as long as it stays far away from my DT it can stay.
