my pink tip anemone shrunk. its tiny now. hopefully by tom. it gets as big as when i had purchased it.. he only cost me $8.99 and was pretty big to.

he was already on a piece of rock so i told the guy give me a good price and ill take him. he gave me the anemone for 8.00 and charged me for 1lb of rock 6.00 and the rock was big and has alot of corraline on it. not a bad deal i think.

lolz i no i really worked hard on this tank. i try my best at pretty much anything i like to do. i love the hobby.

29 gallon long 30"wide
35lbs of live rock
20lbs of live sand/20lbs of LFS sand
195 watts pc lighting. one full actinic one daylight.
alkalinity was checked at the LFS i go to he said it was perfect.

so yea everything is suprisingly going very well in my tank.

i also bought zoanthids. the inner circle is pink and the little dot in the middle is like a green. there doing very well there fully open and loving it. My live rock is getting covered in coralline algae purple and some green. i see a pink and orange from time to time. sand is white. thanks to my goby. and my anemone is just taking in the rays. lolz. hes all good now.
