wow cool. that anemone is crazy, it looks like its glowing!
Skip it has been long time comming , I wanted to wait out the 3 months or so to make sure there were no lingering affects of the posioning ... as you can see I am just now addding my first pieces now :mrgreen:
our clown Mr Wiggles hosted his anenome with in 5 minutes of putting it into the tank ......
Rip the reason it looks crazy like it is glowing is because I dont take pictures very good :lol3:

RE:
Hi sadielynn,
Tank looks good,
What type of anemone is it? How long have you had it in your 2.5G nano with your clownfish?
I was thinking of trying one in my 2.5G nano. My LFS has a real small BTA with a baby clown, but I know they will get bigger and I will have to move them to a bigger tank.

I have had the anemone for about 3 months and already it is ready to to go back to the store , it is what is knowna a pac white anemone , heteractis crispa (sebae) there is some conflict to whether or not white is a natural color and from what I have read it can be . He has gotten very big and I havenoticed that the clown loves to lay in hm and feed him so he is fed well , and while this type anemone is not a particullary fast grower it doesnt take much to out grow a 2.5 . He is planted firmly so moving him poses quite th challenge , that could prove to be fatal if a foot is torn . I would say avoid them the need lots of light and a tank that has been up and stable for atleast 6 months (mine has been up since june 04 ) if they die they can nuke the tank and will out grow a 2.5 gallon in a matter of weeks , maybe months and while the symbotic relation ship is cool it is not need to keep a clown . What kind of light do you have on your tank how long has it been up . HOpe this helps
I am using an 18 watt pc 50/50
If I were to start another tank I would use a larger light with better output ratings . I probably would not go with an anenome due to the size tank just because it doesnt take much to out grow that size tank .The filter is a penguin 100 with out the biowheel run with carbon and 1/2 unit chemi pure
Other than that I am happy with the set up . As for longterm I am not sure how long an anenome would live , but with the ones that I have had they seem to do fine it is just a matter of out growing the tank so quickly :mrgreen:

Hello! I'm trying to get a pico tank started as well (my first) and i found a nice little 2.5 tank at my local Petco. I was wondering what Make/Model your lighting system is and where I may be able to purchase one (if online?) Much thanks! Btw. I agree with the other posters, I like how the tank looks (I'm modeling my setup after yours).
:-D
