So this will probably be my last post in this thread, as I will soon be upgrading to my 120g (next weekend). Exciting! I'll post a link to this thread at the beginning of the new one though so people can really see it from the very start.
Just picked up 2 Hydor Koralia circ pumps from Craigslist for $15!! Woooo! Preparing for the new tank... only thing left to get is a little more sand. Debating whether to use mostly new clean sand and just a few cups of the old sand to get it started off... my nitrates are higher than I'd like them to be currently so I figure the less waste I transfer over the better.
In other news my anemone picked the WORST time to decide it wanted to move 2" to the left... well more like EXPAND 2" to the left (which I knew was only a matter of time as it was growing out of the crevice it has originally chosen)... problem is that it now has its foot planted firmly on TWO rocks. Which will make moving to the new tank interesting, especially since I was planning to tweak the aquascaping a bit... going to be a delicate maneuver that's for sure.Last edited by cat_fish_lady; 04-22-2012 at 02:13 AM.

If you point a powerhead to hit the rocks near him, the extra flow should make move on his own. Becareful not to get too much flow on him or point the powerhead directly on him as that could cause damage
That had worked well the last time I had to remove a anemone from my tankIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

I could try aiming 2 pumps at it... it actually moved when I first put it in the tank so that it was directly in the flow of my 1000 gph maxi-jet (which I just replaced with a Koralia 3, less intense water pressure)... so basically it loves being blasted with powerheads lol.
