- In this video I show u how easy it is to keep and host anemone's. I'll go over food, lighting, water, additives, growth, and some pretty cool tricks for hosting. Its a must watch!
I know this is an old video, but thanks. I,m starting to learn about saltwater tanks. Really helpful
Glad you enjoyed it, consider subscribing and checking out my newer videos
Great vid
Just so everyone is cleak K=Kelvin, which is a rating of COLOR tempature only. It is not a measure of intensity. A 6500K light appears yellow, a 10000K light appears white, a 15000K light is blue, and a 20K light is purple. Watts is also not a measure of light intensity, only power consumption to produce the light. lumens is a measure of light intensity, and is how you should rate a light.
thank you, this has confused me for awhile. all I know is I use 20000k lights and they work well lol.
+Aquarium talk TV I took the time to post this because the natural color of the sun is more yellow dominated (lower K) but obviously covers the full spectrum. It does a great job growing corals, really the best job. Most blue hue aquarium lighting is for our pleasure, not the zooxanthellae. check out GARF.org for further reading on the topic.
This video never fails to answer any questions I may have regarding my clowns and anemone :)
Sage awesome! glad I could help :)
I purchased a small bubbletip 3 nights ago, and it initially buried itself in the live rock, but it's rearing it's head and is coming out slowly but surely. I really want my Amphiprion ocellaris and my black and white ocellaris, (who are a pair) to take to it. I'm unsure how to go about it. They shared a tank with a condy anenome before and paid it zero mind. I feel i may have ruined anenomes for them by having them share a tank with a condy.
Sage as you know an anemone is a living thing that well will do and go where it wants lol. give it some time, it sounds like it's just adjusting itself to the tank conditions. it depends a lot on flow, and lighting. if the flow or light is to strong, it'll try to shelter or move itself away. long story short, it may take days or weeks until it has found itself a suitable spot. I have had anemones that never moved and there where right where I wanted , then some that never seem to sit still. you can try placing it somewhere in the tank and see what happens. clowns and anemones are hit and miss. clowns usually take to bubbles and long tentacles before anything. just try to persuade them. but be careful because if the anemone is smaller than your fish, the fish can stress it out and kill it
Noted. Thank you !
extremeley helpful info
I try to create the most realistic ocean I can. Its important to offer what would be on the reef normally. I add calcium, magnesium, iodine, and other trace elements that created a stable environment. A lot of reefers don't add anything and say everything looks fine. Although this can be the case you have to remember that in the ocean there is a constant resupply of elements and foods. That's why using a good salt mix and additives are important to keep a stable environment so everything can take what they need and not just survive but flourish and grow. Anemones are very delicate they require different foods, strong lighting and good water quality. Hope that helps subscribe if you like and if you have any questions just ask.
can i put a blue tang in a 55 gallon fish tank?
Yes, but I'd get rid of it or upgrade your tank once it gets bigger than 5 inches. Start with a 2 inch one and it won't grow to 5 inches for several years.
+John's Aquatics ok thanks alot

My clowns wont host my anemone, but my domino damsels are. Its really a neat thing to see :)
Beautiful entrance!! Haha
Be careful that tank will crack it’s not level on the stand and I can see light thru it …it will could be 1 week or 2 years but it will
Loved the entrance of the fish, kickass!
I bought a green bubble tip anemone about 4 weeks ago. It looked great and the bubbles were plump. After introducing it to the tank, seemed to hide from the lighting, and move from high up to low in the tank. I check the water all the time and it is perfect. All I have is two clowns, live rock, no corals. Some clams, snails (that reproduce), crabs and a little bit of aiptasia. The bubble tip split 2 weeks ago. Now both hide, barely exposed to any light and the bubbles are still bright green, but are shrunk and all is compact and small. I heard I should not feed it for a while and let it chill out, since it is new to the tank. What do I do?
greg simcakoski how old is your tank? What kind of lights do you have? What’s your lighting schedule? How large is the tank? And what are your nitrates, phosphate levels
@@CandyCoralAquatics almost 4 years running. 55 gallon. Nitrates and phosphate are near perfect. I check every week. Plus, I go for a double verification bringing in a water sample when I go for food or to browse. I first had Current USA Orbit, when I tried a bubble before. Found out this wasn't all that great of light (not enough PAR), but that nem did the same thing (move low) . So, I put 2 on the tank. It didn't change or move. That nem lasted about 3 months then withered away. Got this new nem, left the lights off for a day or two. Then turned them 10 hours on. It moved low and into the shadows. So I got some new high PAR full spectrum leds lights. Both moved and are squeezed, barely into the light, into gaps of my live rock.
greg simcakoski OK definitely sounds like it might be a lighting issue, what other kind of coral you have in the tank and is it doing well? Because if you’re wanting us to clean it will actually cause stuff to die. I know everybody talks about having super clean water and low nutrients but the fact of the matter is you need some in the tank.Is the spectrum that your light produces pretty even? Or does it kind of look like a disco ball in the sand bed? Could also be a flow issues to much flow
good job with this video. i found it informative thank you
thank you very much. Glad I could be of help.
Great video mate very informative.
What lights to you recommend for a 10g reef aquarium
Thanks for the Good Information and I learnt something from you about Anemones from Dubai.
no problem glad you liked!
good video, good info, what size tank, what are you useing for a filter, protien skimmer?? just starting out trying to figure out what i need, thank you
Nice tank! My next two fish I'm hoping to add to my tank are the hippo and the foxface tangs! :)
Subbed
I have a question so I am thinking about getting a rose bubble tip anemone so what I want to do is that I want to acclimate the anemone with drip mode then i would basically put a strainer in the aquarium and put the anemone and the pair of clownfish I have in the strainer and keep them in there for four days what do you think about it
Here are my aquarium parameters
Salinity: 1.025
Ph 8.02
Ammonia 0ppm
Nitrites 0ppm
Nitrates 0ppm
Tank habitants: 2 ocellaris clownfish
Equipment: power head filter,protein skimmer,wavemaker,water pump
And the aquarium has been running for 7 months I really want an anemone and I have been doing a lot of research
Are addatives a must? reason i ask i have seen a few other videos suggesting clowns and proper feeding gives the anenome everything it needs, im trying to gather enough information in order to keep one but as ever in this hobby everyone has their own opinion.
And that indeed was a beautiful entrance haha
I just purchased an AI prime, do you thinks it will be enough light to support a softie tank. Can you make s video for beginners discussing a list of corals good for beginners and any advice for maintaining a nano tank. Great video!
thank you for the comment :). absolutely I can make you a video on good beginner Coral. I'll check into that light because I'm unfamiliar with it. is it led or t-5? also how many k is it? ( 10,000 15,000 excetra)
You have way to few viewers for the quality of your video, good job man.
thank you :)
I have 2 Maroon clownfish and I had 1 condy anemone and Haitian anemone and I just recently added a bubble tip anemone a day ago I’m hopeing it will host It soon
Great video I have the same lights. I was wondering what light intensity you run your kessils up to every day, also what kind of filtration do you use. And also how often do you do water changes and how much water do you remove. Thanks
Hello Eagle Aquatics, the kessels that were displayed on that tank we're not adjustable they just turned on and off. If I remember right I had two a150w deep ocean Blues and two a 150w ocean Blues. It's been awhile since I've used those lights and since I have had that tank. When it comes to water changes a weekly change of 15 to 25% is recommended. If you have a lot of issues or use tap water up to 50% can also be used especially in an emergency if something was to die or you are assuming poison. On that tank I had it on a second Story part of the house so I did not have a sump. I just did water changes and used a carbon filtration system as well as a carbon reactor which you could use to add bio pellet.
I know it's older vid but which Kessil's were those 160we?
What was your lighting program? How high above water line did you have it?
I have the 160we on a JBJ 45. Still thinking of switching to an Ecotech but cost is crazy.
hey man, im new to marine, and I have 2 clowns and a bta. took a while, but the female is starting to host the anemone, but seems to be a bit selfish and isn't letting the male join her. im wondering if its because the anemone has pushed itself into a bit of a cave and they maybe can't both fit in the exposed part, any ideas? thanks man love the videos :)
If they anemone is in a cave be watchful of it, it could be dying, also its possible that the female hasn't accepted the male fully yet, if they are similar size they might be fighting for dominance. Only thing you can do at this point is watch. Keep an eye on your lighting and water parameters. Make sure that anemone isn't dying
Zoas and Palys are Soft corals
Also if I don’t have any algae in my aquarium does that means i don’t have high levels of phosphates
Very informative..
where can i find it written on books thatthey are not actually corals? i need to show them to our authorities in case they apprehend me
Mark Escoto google is a anemone a coral and you’ll get all the answers you need. They are more closely related to jellyfish than coral, they are an invertebrate
I received a Red Sea reefer170 as a gift and want to do a very basic reef set up No hard corals just like leathers mushrooms hammer so on and an anemone. So for the question would an al prime be ok if I were keeping the corals in the middle and up a bit in the tank. I will put the anemone in first and let it settle in
correct me if I'm wrong but I believe it's a 9 gallon setup correct? to answer your question after looking up the specs for that light if I have the correct light that is it appears to be a smaller light that says it's capable of penetrating up to 12 inches. Since I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of your tank you need to keep the depth in mind. I believe it said it will cover 30x30 with the depth of 12 inches. if your tank is indeed 9 gallons this would be a suitable light. however its my job to caution you on keeping an anemone in a 9 gallon tank. with proper water chemistry, lighting, and feeding a small anemone can very quickly become a large one that will split into two or more. that being said it will not leave a lot of room for other Coral. also an anemone is not a Coral it is an invert. that being said it has a foot on it that allows it to move wherever it wants in the tank. once it finds a suitable spot where it is comfortable it shouldn't move. you need to keep this in mind due to the fact that you have a small tank once you place your other Coral you're anemone can easily move over the top of them or settle next to them and Sting them. I'm not saying that it can't be done in a 9 gallon I'm just saying exercise caution.
No it is a 24x24x20 tank but like I said only lower light corals and if possible an anemone
+Kevin OKeefe ok so if the tank calculator I used was correct its about 50 gal. at that point if you want an anemone you'd need a different light. anemones are moderate to high light but it also depends on the nem. any kinds in mind?
It's actually a 36 gallon with a sump anyway I just wanted something easy to hopefully host a pair of clown fish and then like I said basic lower to medium light corals Thanks for your help it's very appreciated
+Kevin OKeefe lol all these tank calculators are different, if its a true 36 you should be OK. if you interest in Dave some money and getting a good light, check out evergrow lights. some people also call them black boxes. you might like the look they give your coral better. you can adjust them also. coral responds really well to deep blues. that's when you get your jaw dropping colors. if you need anything else just ask. I make videos for people as well if you need something explained or you'd like to see how a setup happens. if you have a sump you'll want a light in your sump that comes on at night when your main tank light is off. this will allow a more constant ph. if you have any questions on setup I'll be more than happy to help or make a video.
Coral and anemones are both invertebrates, and they are also both cnidarians. Polyp cnidarians to be more specific.
Don't know if asked all ready but what's your lighting schedule
what are your kessil lights set to for intensity?
I'm not that smart, but how do you clean a tank that big? Isn't it heavy to dump out all the water
you use a syphon to suck out the water. this tank weighs probably about 700lbs
+Ugly Jerk "I'm not that smart, but how do you clean a tank that big? Isn't it heavy to dump out all the water"
You're kidding, right?
this was very helpful
agree
What is the most hardy anename I'm just starting out and would really love to keep one. Thanks!
either a bubble tip or a tube anemone. as long as you have good water quality and strong lighting, you'll be fine.
just be careful because tube anemones can become aggressive as they grow and will eat fish. don't go with a carpet anemone if you plan on having a mixed reef because they will eat even very large fish. bubble tip is the safest and it won't sting you either
hello I m Bhanu . what can I feed to my anemone . I tried to put a small fish in it but anemone refused to eat I also have a Clownfish in it . please tell me how to grow anemone bigger ??
Bhanu Kapoor try feeding mysis shrimp, or brine shrimp. the fish I used where called silver sides. they will also eat food intended for corals like the plankton and your liquid coral feeds that are kinda meaty if you know what I'm referring to. I can't think of the brand right of the top of my head, there is lots of different feeds.
Hi, thinking about adding soft corals and a anemone. Is there a supplement bottle on the market that's like a all in one iodine, calcium, etc...
Ulises Rodriguez hello and thanks for the question, In all honesty you never want to does anything that you are not testing for. As always make sure your water parameters are good before adding anything and make sure that there are no hitchhikers on what you add. To answer your question about an all in one like I said don’t dose anything you aren’t checking for and as far as iodine is concerned iodine can be very very potent. They sell it as it’s own thing in a bottle with a drip applicator so you can add specific amounts of it to the tank because if you add too much we can make the water toxic. To be honest it’s best to buy these chemicals individually so you can test for them and then add them when necessary. The entire key to this hobby is keeping things stable. Your coral will adapt to the tank environment. Therefore if for some reason let’s say your tank is low on calcium so less than 450 and let’s say it always runs at 300 that’s fine the calls will adapt to that just make sure you keep everything stable and you shouldn’t have a problem. And always test! I hope this helps
@@CandyCoralAquatics totally understand about dosing for what your deficient on. (I've got kids lol) What I ment to say was the bottle you said in the vid that was a reef suplement . Like a all in one vitamin good for reefs and inverts.
Ulises Rodriguez ohhh ok I apologize lol yes you can buy an all in one amino acid/supplement/trace elements. I’d search trace elements for reef tanks on google, find one you like and then dose iodine on its own so you can control that
@@CandyCoralAquatics thanks, for your feedback. Also one last thing, what's that "Dr G" food u give?
Ulises Rodriguez the Dr. G was a all in one coral food that one of the local fish stores sold, you can find it online, now I use reef roids and polyp booster from polyp labs and the foundations from Red sea. The reef roids and polyp booster are crazy good, if you use reef roids make a paste with it to feed corals don’t just dump it into the water
But you do have good useful information thank you but PAR is most important
my anemone got sucked it the wavemaker can you make a video to prevent this from happening
The expelling of the zoo, is that because of stress or too much lighting?
Joseph friedrich can be because of both, if water parameters are good I’d put my bet on the lighting
thanks for getting back to me right away I did change 30 % is that enough or what do u mean by massive I'm really concerned I'm glad I had a 55 gallon divided so I put my clown fish on other side
not problem, I would do at least a 50% water change then keep an eye on things. check water clarity and how your coral looks. if you show signs of tank crash ( corals dying, fish acting funny, algae growth just overall bad health ) do another one. after that, see how things go. don't do to many huge water changes because that can also crash your system. If you don't see improvement after another 30 to 50% water change, I would do 8 20% next.
I would do a 20% then not 8 only 1 lol stupid auto correct
I need help to understand why my anemones are acting the way they do. One has totally bleached itself out and moved to the bottom back of my aquarium . The other green one moved also to the back of the rock in the back where I can't get to it to feed it. I don't ant to lose them and I am searching for help.
Ruth Bowers what kind of lights are you using? usually when anything bleaches itself out it due to lighting being to high. remember there is zooxanthellae in these animals and that what gives them color and allows them to make food from the sun. I would asses the other corals as well. if anything else is discolored or not fully opening or if anything is spitting brow stuff out (zooxanthellae being expelled) turn your lights down. have you tested your water to make sure there is nothing off? anemone need clean water and decent flow also. hope this helps get back to me and let me know
Tank prem's are fine. I wish I could send you a picture . The light that I use is Fluval Sea Marine/Reef 2.0 LED 36-46". I don't have any nitrates at all in there and maybe that is a problem. The test shows 0. I just started feeding the aquarium Kent MicroVert invertebrate food.
Ruth Bowers are lights dimmable at all? your water might be too clean. You should have a nitrate level of about five to ten parts per billion a lot of corals need a little bit of dirty water if you will to filter feed. well I do not believe that anemone filter feed the point that I'm making is it's all an ecosystem. Now I've known of people that have zero parameters like you're stating and have beautiful tanks others their corals don't do so well it all depends on what you have. I would move the Rocks around if you can to keep an eye on them because depending on how large they are if they die they can pollute your tank and crash it.
How to I add nitrates ? I am new to salt water aquariums and love this as a hobby. I have 7 tanks all being fresh water and one sw. I never have problems with the fwt' s and I want to get this one to that point.
The lights do dim and I've pretty much had them on blue only for the last 24 hours. I've also turned my rocks around that they are attached to so that I can keep a close eye on them. I've heard horror stories about nems when they die or get caught in the power heads and I'm trying to avoid it all.
Ruth Bowers
how are things going now? Still the same? And adding nitrates is pretty easy just overfeed a little bit however I would caution you because this can cause algae and phosphates to rise which leads to the algae. how many fish do you have in your tank? And how big of a tank is it again? Sometimes an anenome will bleach itself out if it it's not getting enough light. I've gone into Petco stores and seen some that we're totally white but the lights they had on their tank we're no different than a standard freshwater light so I can only assume they bleached because of no light. it's really a balancing act. as long as the mouth of the anemones is not open or excreting anything just give them time and try to adjust your lighting a little bit. Do they accept food? also depth of the tank is important if you have a deep tank but your light doesn't have enough power to reach to where it needs (par reading) to the coral or invertebrate will not be able to sustain itself.
HOW DID YOU MIX A SCOPAS AND A YELLOW??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
do you need to dose all of that if you are doing weekly water changes, would they be replenished after a water change?
no, if you're doing weekly water changes with good salt your all good. the only question I would have for you is do you have a lot of Coral? Or more specifically a lot of hard coral, like SPS and LPS. Coral that build a calcium structure suck a lot of calcium and magnesium out of the water so if you have a big tank full of Coral you might have to dose.
I have mushrooms and montipora types but for some reason mag is always low so I do have to dose that calcium usually stays in check. I use reef crystals
+Whit B sounds like you should be fine. like you said just keep an eye on your magnesium levels. if you find that your elements are being used up quicker has your corals grow or as you get more than just due to partial water changes during the week instead of one big one
Awesome thanks a lot much appreciated:)
+Whit B no problem. happy reefing.
I just bought my anemone last day and while its still in the bag it looks great,it moves around but after i put it inside the tank it wont move or hold in to the rocks and its tentacles are look pale ,something like that.. what should I do? and the tank looks cloudy.
I think its dead.. :(
sounds like to me it died. If that is the case you need to remove it from the tank immediately or else I can crash your whole system. then you're going to have to do at least a 30% water change. sounds like your tank might be too immature for an anemone. how long is it been up and running? What kind of lights do you have? And what are your water parameters?
Yes I just recently changed from fresh water to saltwater tank.. and my lighting is bad.. I used only ordinary light bulb.. 9W..and I have only a hang-on filter..so I guess I should remove my anemone. :(
+kirsten gail Tenefrancia that is why. I'll make a video for you explaining how to set up your saltwater tank. there's a lot to do in the beginning. I'll post it tonight.
+Aquarium talk TV yes pls..thank you so much.. my tank is a nano tank does it has the same set up with the larger tank?
Can you feed them brine and mysis? And someone told me to administer plankton is that true too and what brand is good zooanthele?

please help my tank is been set up for a month and a half so last night I decided to get a anemone so I did introduced into my tank so she sees ok at first and then before I turn light off I saw she move so next morning bump she got stuck on my wave maker and all my water got really nasty and cloudy I was really upset so I went to the fish store and get some credit back but my question is do the water be ok after this happen because my clown fish didn't look to happy please any advice
massive water change immediately! you're an enemy dying has made the water toxic if you do not do an instant massive water change you have the potential of killing your entire tank.
anemone* sorry spell check
+Aquarium talk TV that's exactly what happened to my tank and it caused it to crash! I lost $500+ in fish within a couple of hours even with the water change. That was from a Condy Anenome though, but I imagine that it would work the same.
+Ashley L ouch always sucks when you take a hit. about 6months ago I had a tank crash and lost a ton of coral :(.

Joynul Miah what kind of anemone are they, what’s your water parameters and what kind of lights are you using
@@CandyCoralAquatics bubble tip and using the nano reef 3.0 light parameters seem to be good
Joynul Miah what brand is the light? I looked up nano 3.0 and there’s lots of different brands. And when you say seem to be good have you tested? Because you should have nitrates of about 8 to 10 in your tank and a little bit of phosphate about 0.03.Also if you have too much light intensity this can cause them to shrivel up become stressed spin out brown stuff, is anything picking on it? And what kind of water do you use

Roman you don’t technically need to feed them, you might be running to much light or more than likely your flow might be to high or upsetting it, that in my experience tends to be the reason they move is because of flow, how long has your tank been running? What is your water parameters? I’d be interested in knowing how long your tank has been running and what your nitrate, phosphate and salinity is

Roman have you tested nitrates and phosphate yet? You can’t always compare how other coral are doing to how a nem will do, sometimes even if all your water chemistry is stable they just remain unhappy and die but check your nutrient levels
If you know your " water" you would never add chemicals, no matter what. Water changes is the only solution for anything wrong with your saltwater aquarium. Whatever this person is saying is shit, and his tank looks incredibly sick and it doesn't have enough flow. So things are dying slowly, and your just watching them to.
can you do a step by step creating an artificial saltwater?

I mean the saltwater itself like how and what's your way of making your own it may sound so dumb but it may help our fellas who are actually level 0 in reefing....... one of the common questions I actually got from my friends who I tend to influence with my addiction is do we reefers use some expensive equipments to be exact in measuring the saltwater we made for the tank ........what and how you do it then... sorry for late reply ...I will tell my friends to watch your videos so I can get rid of their tons of questions.

Aquarium talk TV thanks dude
how big is this tank
65 gal
I am have trouble making my clown fish to host my anemone please help
Well post chief, first thing I have to know is how big is your anemone? To be safe your anemone should always be at least 3-5x the size of your clown ( you may find other numbers elsewhere ) this is because if the anemone is to small either they won't host it, or they can actually kill the anemone due to over stressing it. So once you have a anemone that is of appropriate size ( already assuming that you do ) next thing you can try is trying to " push " your clowns onto it. If this fails remove the anemone and the clowns from the tank, put them in a bucket of water with a colander like you'd use to strain noodles. Put the nem and the clowns into the colander and put it into the saltwater you removed from your tank. Slowly raise the colander up and allow the water to drain out causing the fish to flow around or lay on the anemone. Sometimes the sting or feel of the anemone sets off that natural instinct for them to say " hey this is where I'm safe this is my home." If that fails next thing is to post a picture on your tank of two clowns ( or one if you only have one clown ) in an anemone. I know this sounds goofy but its like the monkey see monkey do. If everything I listed fails let me know. Also if you ever have any questions about anything at all ( doesn't have to do with the video you comment on ) just let me know and I'll make a video just for you! Thanks for watching :) hope this helps.
You know your a reef nerd if you want to host an anenome

Maroons tend to take to a nem quicker than ocellaris clownfish. it also depends on the anemone. what kind do you have? it took my Maroons probably about 3 days my ocellaris clowns took probably about 1 to 2 weeks.
Which Kassel are you using?

White Sand Anemone, Singapore Sebae Anemone, Hawaiian Sand Anemone
......so your saying this is dead.......bought one beautiful white ...and this bad boy has not shot the bed yet......some information is decent , but a lot of bad info.
kristopher Gagne its not dead but they are most likely to die...
white anemone are bleached not dead meaning they lost their zooxanthellae which provide them nutrients like plants when they lost their algae you will have to manually feed it daily to keep it alive
but not having to feed anemone is more efficient as it produce less ammonia
kristopher Gagne btw sebae anemone are naturally white in color .. you will know when they are bleached when they look transparent and sebae are also the hardest anemone to keep!!
zoas are softies, not lps
on account that they don't have a skeleton that is correct. must have slipped. sorry
Why should I ask you for advice. You talk too much to start with. Hush...
Good video, just to long
why you say you host the anemone? People don't. some fish are HOSTED by anemones.
Dennis Younger *tries to correct title*
*makes mistake*
anemones are hosted by clownfish, not the other way round
Clownfish don't host. Anemones do. People should get their English straight
Roman B Is your English grammar straight?
Please stop saying "anenome."...............ah-nim-o-nee.
