Take good care of her, Alan ... she looks pretty happy in her new home. :cool:

(Don't underestimate her ability to topple structural rocks! You may wish to consider epoxying some of the neighbouring rocks together if you feel they're at risk..)

I thought you were taking the 20 down??...

As for looking happy, which is more important, gross watts of lighting or PAR? The 175 MH better than 220W mixed-K PCs?

I'll take a closer look at the rock structure tonight. It is recently set, and seemed good and solid - no epoxy anywhere thoiugh (yet).

Yeah, down it comes ... (as soon as I get 5 free minutes.) It still feels odd though!! She was in that spot for almost 3 years.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say "food". :razz: As for the difference in lighting, I guess we'll find out! :biggrin:

:biggrin: Very nice. Beautiful anemone Have to watch it dont eat yer fish now. :biggrin:

I was kinda wondering about that. I'm pretty sure I can see it eyeing those chromis!

AJ_77 07-07-2003 07:29 PM

Oh come on, the fish are smarter than THAT! They haven't gone near it!
You can see them eyeing it warily from a safe distance, though... :biggrin:

(the chromis stay near the surface, and the YT damsel is too smart, but we can always hope - :eek: )

My understanding is that carpets often eat fish. I think DJ88 can confirm this!!

Do chromis drift when they sleep?

Absolutely Brad! (But maybe it would be better to say "sometimes eat aquarium fish.") They have a well-earned reputation, and are adapted for taking small fishes that hop onto them from the substrate, mainly. I plan for mine to eat fish up to twice a week, but the frozen-food kind...

I "hope" that the fishes in with it continue to be wary, but from accounts of Carpet owners, I expect that there will be incremental losses over time.

Still pretty cool, though...
:biggrin:
