Well, I've been wanting an anemone for some years now. After keeping FO tanksfor 5 or 6 years I finally set up a reef tank. Tank specs and params are
33 gallon w/ 15 gallon refugium, 55 lbs live rock total ( 40 display, 15 in fuge), 175w halide 15K XM
PH=8.3 daytime, 8.1 nighttime
Alk=10 dKH
calcium=400 ppm
temp=81 daytime, 79 nighttime
Ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and phosphate all test zero consistently
So my fiance is on vacation for the week with the family 150 miles away. What do I do? Thats right, I went to the store and bought an anemone:D. I wasnt to keen on spending the money on a BTA, which is what I wanted. I picked out a nice little sebae, roughly 3 inches around . He's been at the store for awhile so I knew he was healthy. Nice cream color with bright purple tips.
So now come the questions. I was thinking of adding like 50 more watts of lighting, is this necessary? Will my black occelarris host with this nem? how bad is their sting to other corals? Also please someone suggest a feeding routine and what to feed.
TIA, sorry no pics fiances got the camera
