| Sunshine Reefer ![]() | Re: please help ! Please reallize that the people who have posted are trying to look out for the life of the anemones not to give you a hard time. Some of the posts seemed a bit harsh to me but your system is really not ready for these animals and that is what everyone has been trying to say. Even if you go get proper lighting today your tank is still just not ready. Anemones have a very slow metabolism and will hide illness for months before there are any visible effectc. Meanwhile they are slowly dying. One other thing to mention is do you know how big these guys get? I am not sure how big your tank is but there is no way I would put 3 in my 6ft 125. They all get rather large.

| Sunshine Reefer ![]() | Re: please help ! It is probably stated earlier, but what kind of lighting do you have now and how deep is the tank?

| Sunshine Reefer ![]() | Re: please help ! Regular flourescents or T5s or something? If regular flourescents get more light ASAP. I am not good on the metric conversion thing (darn Americans) but regardless of the depth you need more light pronto. I know you have already heard this but somehow I didn't realize how little light you have which makes it way more important. Also while waiting for the lights try to feed them. Feeding helps particularly in low light situations. You could try mysis shrimp in a turkey baster or larger pieces of krill or silversides or even pieces of frozen food (that has been thawed of course.) HTH
