Show me your bouble tip anemone basket

Ahbaloch · Dec 4, 2018

Hello Reefers,

I want to make a small BTA basket?

Can someone give me some idea on this?

Just for 1-2 nem, and not a very large one,

Well I for one will admit I haven’t a clue what a BTA basket is, or looks like, so I’m awaiting enlightenment from an expert basket builder!

Preferably with pictures!

20lb pull force? maybe if you have 1/8” glass.

I just buy plastic baskets from the dollar store or home stores like menards.
I have bought all different sizes.
This one is shallow and has a handhold but some have handles and was from dollar store.

Also allot of people use pond planters:

I added more to my previous post.

I do not.. I get taller ones depending on my depth of water or I put something under them. On some you probably could by some magnet like a mag float they are cheap..

These ways are cheap but there are places who sell acclimation boxes like Octo Aqautics which can work great and much easier and nicer. Depends what you want.

I have frag tanks and do not want to spend allot so i use a 2.00 basket.
They are in my basement so no one really sees them.

Where did you get that

I like that how much is it?
Does the netting hold up? I figure it can be replaced.
That would allow more flow, plus the anemones would not be able to climb it.
