yeah my anenome in my nano and my 58g are both from the same tank they are both splits from the same parent and are about 6 months apart in age, the one in the 58g is always around 15ppm and the nano I haven't seen a trace of nitrates since it finished it's initial cycle, their both strong and healthy and the one in the nano when it was given to me was nearly dead, no color and wouldn't eat at all, after about 2 weeks of babying it now it's one of the best looking RBTA's I think I've ever seen, no offense but I've gotten alot of compliments on it too thats just boosted my ego on it even more lol
One of my fav pics of it

Nitrates are not toxic and will not have many negative implications unless exceedingly high, and then often times is is just a spur of unwanted aglgae growth.
Corals, clams, anemones, filter feeders and other livestock will feed on nitrates! _________ 125gal.w/Mag9.5 return(dual megaflow)>Mag7 pump Aqua Cev180skimmer.Wave2k Hamilton Reefstar(2)250watthqi(mh)pend.a Yellow, Naso Tang Red Lip Blenny Percula Clown Demoiselles Niger Trigger F.
