MP-10 VS Pretty Green LTA= Who Wins..

[Pennies2Cents]

Well I think we all know the answer to that one.. :( As you all may know, Ive been messing with our MP-10 on the 40 gal Solana due to dead spots.. and well it happened. Yup you guessed it. Anemone in MP-10... Arrggg.. We immediately took the fish out, 1 yellow baby tang, & a pair of clowns.... Did an emergency water change of 15.5 gals.. I think I caught it just when it happened. Fish were still swimming ok and everything was still open.. Water was a lil clowdy though.. I have the skimmer on and its working.. Wondering when will be a good time to put the kids back in the tank???

Help... This is a first for me after 5 years.... :( Scared & Confused! :confused:

I bought a 3 pack a while back ago and only used one, let me see if I can find it. If I do, your more than welcome to swing on by and get it.

The clowns will be fine in the tank the only thing that survived in my crash was my clowns.

I wouldn't chance it, every clown has a different tolerance for contaminates. Better safe than sorry!

Thank You.... For your generosity.. but You are on Dezavala & Im on 1604 & Culebra.. :( its late Friday night.. (DANGER) I think what i can do is put them in the sump of the 240 for now???

[Zack]

I'm sure the clowns would be fine in the sump (refugium area maybe?) but you may loose some corals. And yeah, it is late but I'll be up working on the tank. Feel free to give me a call if you change your mind, I'll be working on the tank for a while :)

[reefreak]

Hey eve. I have 35 gallons pre mixed in a brute and some clear fx pro carbon baggies if you need either. The water is mixed with reef crystals. Let me know if you need either. I'm near culebra and grissom. I can tote over.

did your MP10 come with the foam filter for the wet side? If so I'd use it...if not, I would pick one up for future use...they are cheap. Maybe add some pantyhose to the mp10 before adding another anem.

I'm assuming the anem is toast? I hade a RBTA run through a k3 once before and stripped it of all it's tentacles...it still lived but looked "naked", 6 months later it grew all it's tentacle back....even after hiding in the dark for a month. Was pretty crazy.

Good luck Eve...sorry.

We are good with the water change.. We had it already mixing for 240... Thank goodness.. Went searching in the garage and found some carbon in a box full of goodies.. So its sitting in a lil baggie for carbon in the chamber holding the skimmer and near the poly filter. Thank you though.. I will keep you in mind if i need any

No it didnt Rob. But its okay... My fault, I guess we take chances and sometimes they are not always the right ones.. Yes, the nem is toast... Wont be getting another anytime soon. Thats weird a nem with no tenticles.. lol.. I was able to pull it out in one piece from the Mp-10 but once I did that it opened its mouth and that was the end... Its now in a baggie in the trash.. Thanks though Rob.
