I'd ask my friends to come and see, An Anemone garden with me...

All the nems are beautiful, but I really like those yellows. [emoji36]

Wow - I had completely forgotten about Selcon until I saw this ... I guess if it's still around it is good stuff!

Quick note on Protein Skimmer in nem tanks - I ran a 100 gallon stock tank full of nems (had about 50 in there when the tank came down) with no skimmer for over 3 years. Only fish were a pair of perculas, so that may have helped. Did 20% water change every two weeks.

@jestersix Did you have any rock work in there too keep them a bit more content? I've been kind of thinking some mushroom shaped relatively smooth structures on a base might be a good idea. Thoughts?

And the one thing about Nems is while they do produce a lot of waste it's very easy to just vacuum out.

Actually I did have some rock work in there - the stock tank was pretty tall and I wanted to use that open water space and built structures to allow the nems to move up into the water column.

I did vacuum the tank a couple times a week...

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

Were yours smooth so it was easy to remove the nems if necessary? Or did you care?

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

And if I go this route can you build smooth anemone mushroom rocks?

Stopppppppop!


Nice nem! Where do you get them from?

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

If you build a Nem tank they will come. #NemOfDreams

Is that a Lemon Drop?

 

[Corallus]

This is pretty damn cool, looking forward to seeing them grow!

 

[Bruce Spiegelman]

Is that a Lemon Drop?

Nope. I wish. There's some question as to whether there's even a real Lemon Drop still in existence.

I didn't care - had enough slits that there were always some on the walls and easy to remove...
