skimmer effect on anemone

glockcoma · 05/20/2007, 01:19 AM

earlier I turned my skimmer of to see if it was the cause of all the microbubbles (which it was), but when I got home from the movies a few hours later (shrek the third is real funny), I noticed my anemone was all shrivled up, and then I turned the skimmer back on and it seems to be coming back to life, what does this mean

My anemone gets smaller when I turn my skimmer off, but the return for the skimmer dumps in on top of him. Maybe less flow in tank without skimmer on?

I think you might be right, I will test that theory in the am

It could be expelling waists, but that thery you have about the skimmer? Might be?
