Feeding

[divinguy]

Ok guys, i know this sounds like a stupid question but i am going to ask anyway. What do you guys feed your coral/fish? I feed flake and brine shrimp. The reason I ask is, my anemones have bleached out and i have no idea why. Is there something else that i can feed them to help with their color?

Thank you for any info!!!

What kind of light do you have? That could be a problem. When I used to keep nems I got frozen sea scallops from the grocery store and would cut them into little pieces and give it to the nem.

Check your light and temp. I feed mine with brine shrimp

[divinguy]

I have three 250 watt MH, but I have put some light diff material above the nems to see if maybe the light is to intense.

And my water temp hovers around 70 to 80.

also maintain steady alkalinity. with strong lights

My ALK is 7.7 and hovers there.

Is the nem new? They need to acclimate to light I think.....

[divinguy]

No, they have been in the tank for about 7 months. I just dont understand why they have bleached out.

[bnumair]

how is ur flow in the tank. they dont like extremely strong currents either.

[divinguy]

They have been in the same current for several months now. The tank they were in before mine had even stronger currents than mine. I am just lost. Thanks for the help guys. Anymore ideas????
