The other day I purchased a nice sized GBTA and he got in a little argument with one of my circulation pumps, but that's an issue I'm resolving. That same day I was at a different pet store, since I rarely travel to that area and they had a nice Haitian anemone that they just got in, and for $9 I figured I'd take it. I have two clowns, and each one is hosting a different anemone. Tank is a 72 bowfront.
1) Feeding, I see people feed their 'nems a lot of different things, silversides, shrimp, brine, mysis, etc, etc. So I'd like some recommendations, and how often to feed an anemone that's hosting?
2) Lighting wise, I've got 2x39w T5HO bulbs, and 160w of LED multichips, the multichips are all 460nm. I'm thinking of changing the T5 bulbs to ATI Purple+ to get some 420nm in there, since 420nm LEDs are pricey. Is this enough light? I don't have access to a PAR meter, so I'm having a tough time deciding if this is adequate lighting. The LEDs are right above the water, with no lenses. I'm contemplating adding another 100w (50w on each side of the center brace, which would put 130w on each side of the center brace).
3) How are the Salifert Magnesium test kits? The only test kit I'm missing is MG.
