Anemones die
I am having an issue with anemones, they persist for a month then start
shrinking and eventually die. If all parameters are good and there doesn't seem to be an issue in eating what I supply, why they die? Could light be a problem. This is a 65 tank with a 20 gal mini-tank/sump configured in series with a FWLR arrangement. I have a Coral Sun actinic 420 and a Aqua-Glo 30w. What will most likely be the cause for my lack of success? iy

Anemones die
I have power compact lighting with (4) 65watt lights.
I've killed 3 nice looking bubble tip anemones. I'm done with my killing spree ! You need a whole lot more light than what you have. see he http://www.wetwebmedia.com/marine/in...ightngfaqs.htm "Inabón Yunes" wrote in message ...

You had Compact Florescent (PC) ? I did, and they were OK. I switched to a halide/actinic setup, which had the light, but the heat produced was enough to require a chiller. The T5 puts out almost as much light, but is as cool as the PC. Mike

Anemones die
wrong temperature, infrequent feedings, placement (how close to light) in
tank (or just give them a spot to move too) and ammonia/nitrite/nitrate level can all effect them badly "Inabón Yunes" wrote in message .. . I am afraid it all goes down to lighting huh?

All those parameters are fine. I am pretty sure it was the light.

Good stuff, good luck on the next try with better lights.

You need alot more light. Depending on the sp. of anemone, you will
should only be attempting the Bubble-Tip Sp. as they are the most adaptable to aquaria. I would suggest nothing less than PC Powercompact bulbs, of 65 watts, atleast 4 bulbs for 65g tank. You didnt specify water flow, which is another huge part of there envirnonment. You need ATLEAST a flowrate equal to 10x the tank size. So for 65g tank, you would need 650 gallon per hour circulation. I would say most anemones need 15x-20x flowrate, with addition of power heads within the tank. Please only purchase bubble-tips because this variety is not in any risk of endangerment, as many sp. of anemones are!
