Help with Sebae
I have had a Sebae anemone with two host clowns for almost a year. It has done very well and been in one spot in the tank almost since the time I put him in. Over the last two weeks, he has retracted greatly although his tentacles are still brown with purple tips and but for the retraction otherwise looks healthy.
I haven't changed anything of significance in the tank. He still seems to be eating a silverside chunk 1-2x a week but I am getting worried. The clowns are still hosting in the retracted anemone. Thoughts? The only thing I can think of that I can change is my hallides. They just hit the one year mark and I wonder if that could have an effect as the par has changed. (250 watt Radium XM 20K's are my halides of choice.) Any thoughts of what to look for would be appreciated. Edd |

Ammonia and Nitrite- 0
Nitrates- 80 (It is time for a water change) PO4- undetectable and just changed the RowaPhos on the reactor anyway as it was about 2 mos. I haven't run my Alk and Ca in a while but they usually run about 2 meq/l and 400ppm (give or take 20 or so.) Are there other params I should check? |

You really need to test you alk and Ca. With the new Rawaphos your alk can drop quickly which would be bad for your Sebae

If your nitrates are at 80 you have SERIOUS problems. You need to find out why they are so high. Do you have a fuge? You need more than a water change... you need to look into what is creating that problem...
