![]() ![]() (I did not treat with antibiotics but had a hospital tank and treatment to hand) He slowly turned his foot to the rock and attached fully. He was a bit tangled up and his foot was puffy and inflated. Almost immediately I saw the nem begin the inflation process. The lights were reduced to 10% (LED AI SOLs). He was attached mostly but remained deflated. I turned my powerbeads off and placed him in a position of very strong flow and very close to the water surface for light. I then took the jug and placed it into the water (at no point did I expose him to the air). A sign that the nem was healthy and responding well was its tenticles began to curl and mouth closed partially. The water movement from the flow of water flushing replicates strong water movement and encourages the nem to switch out water. Each time you flush the nem, it exchanges bad water for good and keeps doing so until all bad water is expelled including toxicants. Hypothesis: The principal here is that the nem although mainly deflate contains stagnated water from transport. I left it 10 minutes before checking the water each time so the nem had time to purge. This took several flushes (about 10) before the new was fully clean and sitting stably in fresh water. I continuous flushed the nem with tank water until the water was clear and testing 0 for Nitrates, Nitrites and Ammonia (as per my tank). Jug goes into a bucket and then I started adding water for another 10 minutes at a quick pace slowly flushing the toxic water out. It looked dead.Īcclimatisation Method: A quick temperature acclimation (15 mins) and then chucked the nem in a jug. I tested the water, extremely high in ammonia and nitrates. The water was murky and it looks like a bag of jelly, its mouth is gapping, detached foot and floating in bag. Here's what worked for me so far (not saying that these have worked long term, or that they are the right choice for everyone). From conversations with him, he had some interesting concepts. He regularly sells Ritteri's and often has them for long periods. Ordered a Ritteri online from a really good seller who had some very healthy looking nems. The intention is for it to be a self sustaining reef (mixed LPS and SPS - grow out of frags from my main tank) with a Ritteri at the front and centre. The point of this tank is to mainly host a pair of clown and the Ritteri Anemone (H. ![]() ![]() I set up back in January a off shoot tank from my main aquarium to this 55 gallon. I am an experienced reefer who enjoys experimenting and trialling different reef methods and responses. a Ritteri anemone has been on my list for a long time. ![]()
