Welcome to the reef. I have only been on her for a little while myself and everyone has been really helpful to me. Has your tank cycled???? Hopefully you have been running it for awhile since you added all those items to such a small tank.... Welcome again and I hope everything continues to go good with the tank....Bill.... |

Welcome Elizabeth, you should post some of your info on your tank (lighting, filtration, etc...) There are SOOOO many threads of almost anything you could imagine on 3reef. Saltwater tanks are always great gifts, lucky U! | |

To 3Reef!!! Salutations! Glad to see you found way here!
We love to see new tanks going up.
Below are some links to help you out.
Keep us posted!
Scott by J. Charles Delbeek "They are mysterious guests from an exotic world. Unlike anything else we keep in an aquarium, they represent the essence of the coral reefs that we try to duplicate in our living rooms. Our success at this effort depends greatly on how well we understand these unusual life forms.
Unfortunately, for the average hobbyist, the increased availability of these animals is not matched by the information available concerning their biology and care. Too often, hobbyists know more about who manufactures their aquarium equipment than basic biological information, or proper identification of the animals they are striving to keep. And yet, without this information it is difficult to provide the optimum conditions that will allow them to grow and reproduce." Answers to Everything! Learn to Live With It
Adam Blundell M.S.
"...As surprising as it may seem your tank will look ugly at first. This happens to all new marine aquariums as they cycle through their initial filtration phase. Your tank may go brown, and then green, and then red, and then just look junky. It happens. Consequently the one coral you really want to keep may not live. You may struggle to raise the prize fish you originally intended to acquire. It's okay; just learn to love whatever is working for you. Remember, not only is this a hobby, but we are keeping living ecosystems. Special efforts should be put forth to enjoy and appreciate what we are keeping, whatever it may be. It takes time and patience to turn a glass box full of rock into a beautiful, thriving reef tank..."  _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

Hello and welcome to 3reef!
Best of luck to you here ind in the marine hobby.
I have some advice for you regarding your tank! Please don't think of me as a know it all or anything negative, but having a Sebae anemone in your 8 gallon tank is not a good idea!
Being that you are new to the hobby
tank is too small
tank isn't established, I don't think
lighting can't be very intense
skimmer isn't efficient and effective to handle the detritus and pollutants provided by the anemone
Sebae anemone is very dificult to maintain
What kind of corals do you have?
are you sure that it is a Sebae anemone?
I just want you to be successful as with your animals in your tank is all.
