Sebae anemone and carpet anemone info

jorge0912 · Nov 17, 2018

I need some info on this animals I want one but I would like to know how to care for them if they are ready for my reefs and what should I do if I get them
My reef are more than one year old each and stable at the moment the only problems I have sometimes are a bit of phosphates and sometimes my salinity

Keeping salinity in check is Paramount. Nems don't like fluctuations. Do you have an ATO? Personally, I would make sure to have one before getting nems. Stability is key

Well, first off, there are 3 types of carpets, and 2 types of sebaes, and all are different, so it might be easier to post your setup, and see what might work best for you.
Pics always help.

I'm also wondering why you have salinity swings, that's probably about the easiest out of all numbers to maintain, what's happening there?

I don’t have an auto so I top off the water every day manually it swings from 1.024 to 1.026

There are.

What type of lighting on the BioCube?

davocean · Nov 18, 2018

Yeah, lights are probably more important, sg can be controlled better just not dumping all in at one time.

Your tank kind of restricts what you can keep due to size and possibly lighting, smaller is better, so maybe a malu in sand if tank is established enough and has adequate lighting, otherwise BTA are pretty forgiving as light goes

Yeah I had a kessil under it went out bought a 165 watt black box verry strong ligth nitrates are always kept at 5 to 10 And we’ll everything else looks great calcium 450 alk 8 and well everything has beeen stable only for the salinity
Any cheap atos I can buy for It can buy a 5 gallon aquarium and put it under it with distilled water

Oh you got light.
Check for black friday sales coming from any sponsors here for ato.

For the tank size if you have sand a malu would allow coral room above on rock, but if set on a carpet maybe a hadonni at sand bed, but it's going to cover a lot of that tank.
Other sebae, crispa, and other carpets will just get too big for biocube, even the hadonni is pushing it I think

100% with you. The smallest I ever had a Saddle Anemone in was a 45 RR cube as shown in the pic I only had it in a couple of weeks before it went in my 93g Cube.
