    considering the skimmer you have ;) perhaps you might add an additional foam block to the inlet on the pump side? you will have to clean it every other day or so, but, this will prevent that problem from happening again. i think you should wait a few months before you add another anemone- just my 2 cents worth. tank looking better I hope?

    so few words yet a great explanation- if you doubt this I will prove it to you, I have pretty large tank and had two leathers that started WW3 one died the other is - well who know's -time will tell- hence the reason for my 29 galllon coral tank.

    My condy got sucked into my intake too a while back. It actually ripped a big whole right in the condy. It took almost 4 months to heal. I think the tear was actually on the foot of the nem because it wouldn't attach to anything for the longest time. But the thing is bigger and better than ever now. I'm just saying they are fairly resilient.

    i liked it alot. it had great color and my girl loved it. i just wish it would have lived lol. i was glad that it was 6 bucks just cuz the other nem i bought was 60 but i did like it alot. and the tank looks great. i have to take the pump apart because its not producing what it was before the nem got sucked in so i think theres a chunk stuck in the wheel thing inside. thats tomorrows project

    just remember that it is a mesh wheel pump, be really careful when cleaning it- you do not want to break the impeller due to an in-balance issue.

    It could be a sign of curiosity OR when there is not enough light nems move upward. If you have a BTA this will be a normal occurence.
