Receding corals and ugly anemones

bryan swanson · 02/28/2006, 04:09 PM

I bought an Orange Bulb anemone a few months ago from my place of employment, and it has done nothing but bad in my tank. It went from a stunning pink/orange, to a pastey white. My clown is still in there and it still has buls, just not the color. I have a 25 gallon with 4.4 wpg. My yellow polyps disappeared and the only thing doing well in there is my frogspawn and hammer. Any suggestions? Thanks

You're going to need to tell us more about your tank - parameters, equipment, etc.

I just checked my water. Nitrate-.20, Nitrite-.00, Alkalinity-180, PH-8.4, ammonia is showing a tiny tiny bit, about .2, but i thnk that is due to a lack of water changes in 3 weeks. Salinity is at 1.024 about 78 degrees . im running a skilter filter with the skimmer only running on sundays due to the amount of bubbles it puts into the tank. Rio 400 powerhead in the corner putting quite a bit of flow into the water. I have some pictures how can I put the on here?
