Unhappy Green BTA

Hi all,
Ive had a green bta in my 220 for several months. Originally he was open and happy and eating every few days. For the last month hes been retracted and bleachy-looking and droopy. I did change the lighting recently but he was looking junky before that and its been a couple weeks now and he has not moved in reaction to the change or perked up or gotten worse. The clowns were getting interested in him but he wont open so theyve given up.

I have LED blackboxes for lighting, Idk the exact PAR levels but Duncan coral, monitporas, xenias, birdsnest, candycanes all happy and growing, hair alge on the decline, fish look great etc.

Ph: 8.1-8.2
Phos: 0-0.05
Nitrate/Amonia: 0/0
Temp: 79
Sal: 1.025
Cal/Dkh- 500/10

Tank has been running 2 years so its not new, and Ive really wanted an anemone. Should I remove him? Leave him be? Get another one? Any thoughts as to what would make him happier? = ( THank you!
First 2 pics are of him 6 weeks ago, last pic is how hes looked the last 3 weeks or so

Now it's a soggy Thursday

Another day, another soggy one! Good morning TRT Friends, and HAPPY THURSDAY! Yes! Yes it is another rainy day here at the shore. Momma must love us, or she's up to something, but there's Dunkin Donuts on the counter this morning to go with our coffee. Only in the 60's again around these parts, but it does feel good. Hope all are well......and Jeff, hope it's a memorable stay at the Cove for you,

Is it a Skimmer or Filter? It's BOTH!

Is it a Skimmer or Filter? It's BOTH!

New blog posts! New products! Coming soon!




Anemone close to circulation fan

Ok so I have to leave to go to school in a little bit and was wondering if I should put my foam around the fan and if I should cover the end if I do? Any quick help would be great!


A wet Wednesday!

Welcome to a wet Wednesday, and the beginning of a soggy week of the same stuff. Hi Folks, and GOOD MORNING! Either the weather guesser's keyboard stuck, or it's the same rainy pattern for about a week now. Hope I can find some way to keep my rain coat dry!? :rolleyes: PB+J on white toast to go with our morning coffee around here. All the very best to all,

What are media reactors for?

What exactly are media reactors used for? Are they a requirement for every sump? If I am setting up a new sump should I put one in? Thank you!


Starfish in reef tank?

I have a 120 gal tank that I have been starting to add livestock too. I want to have a chocolate chip starfish in it but I also want to have coral. I know that the starfish are not reef safe, but I wanted to know if it would be ok if I made a platform about 5 inches away from the sides of the tank and have in hang from the top of the fish tank with string. If I did this would I be able to keep coral on the platform? Any advice will help.

Thanks
