oops. misread one of your posts ;p
Well, for chemical filtration, kinda depends hat you are looking to do. IE: If you are having phosphate or silicate problems, ROWAphos is the way to go. If you're looking to reduce organic waste, polyfilters or chemi-pure filters work great. If you have heavy metal problems, or need to suck out medication quickly, polyfilters work great. I'm not that large of a fan of carbon, just cause you'll go through it so quickly and you get much better results with other chemicla filters for less money. |

I currently just rely on the live rock natural filtration and a skimmer.
Have done this for several years.
I am investigating the best price and value of RO Di units (There is a thread under water chemistry) I hope that good water slowly phasing it in once a month on regular water changes will be the answer for a lifetime. | |

Anemone is doing great now!
The last three days it has been fully inflated. Looking great at about six inches round.
I guess it was just disposing the old water and absorbing it's new environment.
Acclimating. Now my concern is how long will it take to out grow the TANK...
I had to move my Toadstool Mushroom because it moved and was getting a little too close.
I truly appreciate everyones help on this topic. | |

Well guys the Anemone had a good track record for a couple days it stayed inflated, but today it shrunk down again.
I am still nervous that it the beginning of the end.
I have never had any major success with an anemone, so its hard sometime to remain optimistic. | |

|  Update on Anemone...
Well it's still alive!!!
Really weird that it stretches it's body so much.
Anyone else have a BTA that looks like this.
It has continued to have it's moments were it totally deflates itself and within a couple hours it is full again. | |

Nice pic. Mine stretches like that too. The Beatles tune, "Good Day Sunshine" plays in my head when he does that.
