  1. Deflating/Inflating anemone

    seamaiden, The tank is almost 9 months old -- so not quite the year you were looking for, but it's been a very healthy, "well behaved" tank thus far. Thanks for your comments!
  2. Deflating/Inflating anemone

    Thanks for the replies thus far... sounds like perhaps I can relax a bit :D But seamaiden, I need to ask... is 120+lbs of live rock for a 75 gallon display "not generous"? I mean, short of adding rock to the sump, there's not much room left :wink: And now that you mention it, the...

  7. Unhappy anemone?
