my temp is a consistant 80F, my heater never comes on. i believe my PC light takes care of the heat, not sure though.

i spot-feed it krill, along with brine shrimp on occasion. i dose trace elements as directed (bought a kent nano-reef kit), and i also dose phytoplex for my xenia and polyps/zoanthids.

i test salinity with a refractometer i got onine for 45$. i HAD a hydrometer, but it wasnt as accurate as my hydrometer (off by .002 usually).

as far as what was tested, fin addict and texas tropicals both tested for calcium, phosphates and some other stuff, but i cant recall what. i was given the green light by both, so i figure i was golden.

im really kicking myself in the butt now, i had a NICE looking green/pink pink bubble taht looked GREAT. ill have to swing by and see if its still where i sold it...

so are you saying the pink bubble would have been a better route to go, as opposed to the sebae?
Good job with the feeding, excellent that you have a refractometer, but again, don't rely on stores for water testing; learn more about the chemsitry involved and monitor Ca and Alk levels yourself. Phosphate will becme an issue in your tank, and typically tsts don't reveal the problem, as phosphates are almost immediately consumed by problem algae in aquariums. At some point, the best solution for phosphates is to grow some caulerpa in a refugium and dose KW into your skimmer input.

The BTA needs less light and is generally more tolerant of aquarium conditions than other host anemones. Probably neither one is such a good thing for your tank at this point. But you never know. Good luck!
