80 Gallon Anemone Tank
 

I have decided to turn my 80 Gallon tank into a anemone tank. I have two onyx clowns and two yellowheaded jawfish as livestock. I also have two anemones for now. In the future I may move the tank into a 55G but for now the 80 will do. I was planning to rescape and get the 80 ready for more Nems this weekend when this morning I came downstairs to:

And to top off the great morning...ITS FREAKIN SNOWING OUTSIDE...DAMMIT!!

I spent the next four or so hours changing 50% of the water and getting everything back to running condition. Can't run the skimmer though...its a HOB and bubbles the cap off. Whats amazing is the Nem is still alive

Before the Nem could probably stretch out to about 1'1/2"...now...not so much.

So...since I had to basically redo the tank...I figured why not start a build thread:mrgreen:

And to quote Doug(fishytime) "Nems is EVIL!!:twised::twised:"

I've had that happen to me too. I hope you can save yours mine was totally gone. Nice size tank to dedicate to evil!

sorry to see your poor Nem hurt like that, hopefully he survives.

I had him in a pail while I was messin with the tank. He stuck himself to the pail...don't know if thats a good sign or not but hes back in the tank. Hes beat up pretty good though...fingers crossed...did lose a Atlantic Blue Tang though and it looked like one of my onyx clowns was on the way out as I was leaving for work...STUPID NEM.

sorry to hear that, i always fear for that nems cruzing the tank!

Sorry to hear hopefully nem pulls through mine did the same thing a couple weeks ago lost a blenny and my filefish but nem and the other fish were rescued. I read somewhere that as long as the mouth and foot are intact it should survive but good luck to you!

Try running some chemi pure elite for a bit. I had a nem early on do this, did not have water ready to go for a change & the tank never seemed to miss a beat. I thnik it was because I was running CPE. & I still do btw. Water is always near crystal when it goes off I change, approx. once 4-6 weeks on 65 gal. setup.

About 85% of the nem ended up in the koralia but his mouth and foot was intact...it was a struggle getting him out of there. Only time will tell if he makes it or not.

Thanks Kev...I hope so too. The two clowns are not happy though...lol

Thanks Llamarama...I seen a video on a guy fragging a nem...he cut the nem in half through the mouth and both pieces survived.
