Pink Hiatin Anemone Problem

[Katrina71]

Rock from another reefers tank would be great!

 

[Brittany8808]

Dark rock would be better.

That's what I'm Gonna Stick with and make sure they got tunnels so they can hide and play hide and go seek

Where can you get those at?

 

[sfin52]

That purple is called coralline.

if its man made it may be colored that color.

Lol. With your 6 line it will be more like hide or get eaten.

He's right.

 

[Brittany8808]

He's right.

Those are the ones you don't Want Right they can cause problems in your tank right

That's great lol I definitely would love to get the black clownfish in there Probably 2 more fish I'm Guessing Would be good

No. It's all about the bacteria that lives on them. Think of them like Rid-X for a septic tank.

Going to be blunt you clearly have no idea what you're doing.

Theres 1 hermit crab painted shell in the tank, and who knows if theres anymore.

The sand you're using looks like the completely wrong.

I feel bad for that 1 fish and you're anemone. Please do some research before getting into this hobby, these are living animals not toys. From what I see I can imagine the suffering these animals are enduring.

This is not the type of post that is helpful in any way. People have already brought up the things you pointed out. Unless you have some sort of help or suggestions to offer it is not necessary to bash a member who is in need. I have seen several not so friendly posts like this lately. This is not R2R like, or in the spirit of what the greatest reefing platform in the world should contain. Comments like this are seen on other forums and drive people away, which is not what we want here at R2R. We are so much better than that! Thank you and now back to your regularly scheduled programming!

I’ve been reading this post and if there wasn’t any rock in the tank besides this one that was gotten with the anemone then would the tank still be cycled because there wasn’t anywhere for the bacteria to establish except for the sand? Or is the one live rock enough to help the tank continue to cycle?

Good point. Live sand and lr added at the same time have a lot of bacteria. Also this rock was in a holding tank with Nems and fish. The rock was cycled. Also the the rock was not exposed to air because of the nem or at least not longer than putting in bag and into the tank. Die off would be very minimal.

I added pieces of my lr to a buddies tank and added fish the next day. No cycle whatsoever ever.

You make a very good point. I would recommend an alert badge by seachem just to be safe. Well made point @Derek siskey

 

[Katrina71]

I'm hoping her live rock was large enough to prevent that.

I'm updating this pic for @Brittany8808 just before lights out

Im not. Who in their right mind puts a painted hermit crab shell in a saltwater aquarium then thinks its a great idea to buy an anemone. The sand literally looks like walmart sand

Some people don't know and get poor info for maintaining even a freshwater tank. Our mission statement with R2R is to help others- Not criticize them. how about offering some sound and respectful advice rather than insult?
I hope youre not married- you'd make a heck of a lousy husband!
