Help Fast!

My big RBTA (12"+) Just started squirting cloudy liquid making the entire tank cloudy....

I have had this anemone for over a year and have added nothing new for over 6 months.

I have read mixed reviews about spawning... Is it or isn't it toxic?

If it were me, I'd play on the safe side and run carbon and do at least a 20% water change.

I would do a water change as soon as possible. It seems to be spawning, and I think the general consensus is that it is bad. It definately destroys the water quality pretty quickly in the closed systems that we run.

I run carbon 24/7 and I have no water right now. I used all my water this morning when I did a water change on both my tanks. I am currently mixing more.

Make sure you have some fresh carbon, and a thought.... maybe you could borrow about 10 gallons of water from your 55 just for tonight, let your 55 run low until tomorrow, so you can get at least a little clean water in your 60.

Ok I'll put in some new carbon. I was already thinking about borrowing water from my other tank.
