I rescued it. It has taken about 10 months to start grown leaves, and in the past month the leaves are really starting to sprout. I picked it up at the beach we were married at.

Well I tried to get my BTA's out for the reason the were killing everything around them. Got almost all of one out and mutilated the other pretty bad. So not a have a mutated BTA and a piece that looks like they will come back. I am going to still get them out and replace them with a carpet anemone or two carpet anemone that only get to 5 inches for the clown to live in. I also may just pull the trigger and get a niger trigger.

Today numbers
Ca 423
Mg 1400
Alk 7.7 going to dose again
phosphates .01
Nitrates 8ppm going to add a little more life bio fil to the mix to bring them down a tad.

Jsker,
Looking forward to your carpet anemone. Never had one over here.

I've seen ;Wideyed reefers that use ice cubes at the foot of a BTA to get them to release the BTA's foot.

Your parameters are looking pretty darn good

Tagging with the carpet nem

Always wanted to give one a go, but I'm bare bottom
Figured the BB would be a bad call ;Stop for a carpet anemone.

Once the set there foot, they will stay. With a bear bottom place some large pies of rock on the bottom, once the anemone stops moving from rock to rock then remove the extra rocks.

A little history: I have had a few fresh water tanks and have had 3 salt water setups to date. Is a move tank, considering a setup? The tanks were in different cities 35 gal and a 150 in St. Louis. I had my moving tank, a 75 oceanic. That tank was in Chicago, New York, Boston, Florida. I would get transferred and depending on the situation of finding housing and move time, (load and unload) I would pack my live rock and the hearty live stock(fish) in a cooler and move. It got to the point that I would have the rock and fish in a cooler for a month at a time in a hotel room with a power head and everything survived, even with my cat Samantha in the room

I'm totally late to the party, but that stand is phenomenal! Your moving tank is quite the feat! Good job.

Any updates for this system? Been a couple years... haha

Thank you, Major updates or just updates? Since I have left it alone, the system is doing great. I am still waiting for a piece of equipment to be released for the auto water change.

No taking bets on when this auto water change system gets implemented! Lol [emoji23]
