Not real long Minh. The larger one I've probably had for about 3 months. The smaller probably about a month and a half.

Very nice. I wanted to do this for the longest time. Had two in my 30X30X30 cube. Doing great until I add a sick Mag and wipe all three out. Good luck with your's

Yeah I remember that. You had some exceptional mags. I really liked your red based one.

Beautiful mag

My LFS has a purple one right now that I want. Need to get me nitrates down before I pick it up

They certainly don't seem to tolerate high nitrates.

Can I ask what your parameters are?

Very nice

I haven't really checked my parameters in a while just kH which is at about 9 dkh. As far as nitrate and phosphate go, they've always stayed right at or around 0. I used to test phosphate quite a bit, but now I just wait for algae to start popping up and then I switch out my gfo.

Thank you AD87

Don't report me to the Tang police but you got to have a tnag in that tank. I do love Tangs

I had a small powder brown in there up until recently. I transferred it to one of my other tanks that I do maintenance on though.

that looks like a tank that could benefit from 50 small domino damsels.

Update shot. Since original photos I have moved the two nems to a different system. The smaller white tipped one crawled into a powerhead about a month ago and almost lost all its tentacles. It seems to be recovering nicely though.

That's one of the nicest mags I've ever seen. Real eye candy! Wow! Did you turn all your pumps off for a second to get that nice of a shot?

I guess it depends upon what you mean by high nitrates? In my experience, Mags will do fine in tanks with nitrate levels below about 20, though they do tend to wander a bit more as levels approach 20 - at least, that has been my non-scientific observation. FWIW

No, pumps were on. It just tends to be a real rigid anemone most of the time. Actually, the small one snuggled up next to it also tends to be very rigid as well.

Yeah, you're right, my statement was rather relative. Your observations are about the same as what I have experienced. Usually, above about the 20 mark they seem to do a lot of foot shifting.
