Jeremevans Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looking great. Why do you keep the pest anemones?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N70SJ Posted January 6, 2019 Author Share Posted January 6, 2019 Looking great. Why do you keep the pest anemones?Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI just getting ready to transfer them to the pest Sump from my display. I keep them because they multiply rapidly. In 6 months I should have over 6 square feet of these little buggers 1” from the surface level grabbing everything that passes over them instead of remaining in the water column. I have no filter socks etc. I dispose of waste naturallySent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
