BTA Split

RanRoc · 01-04-2005, 11:22 AM

Yes...it finally happened after almost three years! The BTA split overnight. It's still in the process of completing the split. I think it may have split twice, as I think I can count three seperate anemones! One is hidden toward the back of the tank. Sorry no pics on this thread, as I can't manage to shrink them down enough to post here.

Anytime Randy. Congrats on the new addition to your tank. A real sign of good water quality and animal husbandry.

You're joking, right? Don't you see the red slime in the photos? LOL. Thanks for the kind words.

Cyanobacteria is a nitrate and phosphate indicator and fabulous exporter if siphoned off. Nitrates are not bad for anemones in low concentrations.

Quite right, Craig! I forget to look at it that way. I'm too easily influenced by all the "negative media" that cyano gets.

I learned this mantra from mojoreef "Cyano is your friend"!
