Missed this...a few weeks ago now.

The anemone is driving me crazy. I think its just a really bad idea for the size tank. Unless I get rid of everything else and only keep the nem lol.

I removed about half the LR from the tank (only about 10 lbs. now) and also removed many corals but I still don't think there is enough room. I moved the anemone off the glass and put it down on the bottom. It has stayed there overnight but who knows...the thing loves to move.

I am on my blackberry now but when I get home, I will take some pictures of the tank as it is now.

I've actually thought about finding a Solana and having it for just a blue carpet & a pair of black percs. I think it'd be neat.

Yeah I think that would be really awesome. I just don't want to do that with this one and I don't want a second tank. I am seriously thinking about selling the anemone and getting some kind of soft coral for the clowns instead.

Since this is my only tank now, I don't want to dedicate it to just the carpet anemone.

For now I think I will just see how things go. As long as the carpet stays where its at now, it's got lots of room and can't harm anything. But if it starts to move, I will probably sell it.

Your Solana is looking pretty sweet man. Great job man!

Some pictures from a few hours ago. The anemone is still not so happy and pretty deflated (after I moved it yesterday) but I think its going to be fine.

The only thing I really dislike about the Solana is that the false wall is textured and not smooth. Its almost impossible to scrap clean and unfortunately coraline is starting to grow over it. I need to figure out some way to keep it clean.

go for a tuxedo urchin. one i have literally chomped through every bit of coralline growth that i had, much to my dismay.
