This is what I would do.I would go buy a nice little sea anemone and put in on the sand bed by a rock and shut off all power heads and let it settle in.And let it atach to the rocks befor turning on any power heads.Also buy some foam covers and put them on the power heads to prevent them from gettignchopped up.Also how well do you tank care of your tank?

Carpet and I think even rose are tricky to begin with. If you do try again, I would stick with LTA or BTA. I personaly think LTA are easiest. Also the key is to get a healthy anemone to begin with. If you look at some at the LFS you can tell they are on their way out. Good luck.

i think that btas are the easiest. i recommend the bta
