Nitrate!

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

Too late. I jumped in with both feet. grin But, I think you are
right. I wouldn't recommend somebody getting in like I did.

I heard that it's "hard", but then I've been told that about a number of
things. Orchids, for example, and, I have quite a few orchids that
bloom regularly. However, I think an aquarium is considerably harder,
more demanding, and less forgiving.

Seems like my nitrate is subsiding. It's already down noticeably and I
did another 10 gallon water change. I'll check again tomorrow.
