Ok so i have two problems
1. i cant keep Cleaner Shrimp
2. i have lost two anemone's
Tank has been in different stages when i have tryed the different animals. one shrimp when the tank was new and he died and also when the tank was new i tryed an anemone but i have let settle for almost 2 years and i waited 1 year to try a shrimp and 8 months to try a anemone and still no luck. I have such bad luck with shrimp that they usually die while i am accilmating. I think the tally now i 8 shrimp. Now the tank is stable with para.
salt .025
amonia 0
phos 0
nitrate 0
nitrite 0
calc 600
alk 8 dkh
78-80 deg const
Edit Sorry 55gal dual 175 mh and 30gal fuge and 20 gall sump
i have had many sugestions that copper might be prevelent but i have snails an hermets and lots of softies and i dont know if copper is harmful to anemone's. I have not tested water for copper because i dont want to buy a really expensive copper test to get a good reading and only be able to use it once.
any sugestions would be great thanks.
