I have an anemone that didn't look so hot, so I finally sat down with a
notebook and started working through my jr. chemistry set.

Arg! Eye popping levels of nitrate! I only had ten gallons of water
mixed up, so exchanged that. And, I put the fish on a crash diet. I've
only had the protein skimmer running for 72 hrs, but that should help.

All my other levels are normal except for Ca+ which is 600ppm.

I'll continue doing water changes as soon as the salt water gets 24 hrs
to stand.

Anything else I can do? (Remember: I'm a newbie.)

how new? if you're a "newbie", you probably shouldn't have an anemone.

note: I've had my 75 gallon tank for over a yea rand still consider
myself too "new" to have things like anemone's etc.
