Needing some Anemone advice

anirbas91 · May 16, 2016

I have a 65g tank with this fluval sea light. During the day my anemone is really happy and opens up. Then during the night it shrinks and looks deflated. I don't have any pictures currently. Could my light be the issue?

This is what my anemone looks like right now. This is what I meant when I said flat.

its pretty normal that an anemone will shrink at night ...

Mine does the same. Sometimes it expands quite big. But mine decided to hide under a rock and peek out from it in the back of the tank. Can't see him looking at the front
Boo hoo

Mine both do it every night, theyre under halides and are as healthy as can be

Probally pooping, giving your skimmer somethin to do

Okay I was just worried that it wasn't happy.

Do you guys know what light might give it more color? The fluval light that I have is to white

I would say money is key here. What are you willing to spend. Btas love strong lights. And what style do you want

maybe add a strip of blue led lighting if you don't want to replace your whole setup ... Honestly believe it or not even though I have LED's now I miss my old t5 set up you can mix match bulbs and I had awesome results with color and growth of corals

isn't that light adjustable where you can lower the white and increase the blue ?

I've been considering getting sb reefs. But I wasn't sure if there was a better light. I'm assuming the anemone is a rose because the center is green. I'd love for it look how it's supposed to vs just the red showing

No this one is not adjustable. It's white/blue or just blue

My 2 under 250w 14k halide.

Theres many good l.e.d. systems out there. Im just not too savvy with them. Check out equipment threads see if you can dig up some ideas

I'm looking at the SB reefs as well I've heard good things about them but waiting till they come out with a Apex ready even though you can modify them by rewiring them
