[MARINE TANK] Yello Hammer Coral and Anenome





Quick update this week. Got a yellow hammer and a small anenome. Also found some interesting hitchhikers in my liverock. One is some kind of trochus with long tentacles (approximately 6 of them). The second is some kind of slug with a small vestigial shell on its back. The anenome is having trouble acclimatising and unfortunately I discovered it is best to have them in a well aged tank after i had purchased it. So this week's tip is:

TIP: Anemones prefer the following
1. Well aged tank (12 months old)
2. To be left alone the first day 3 days of purchase
3. No feeding for the first week of purchase
4. No hosting fish larger than the size of the anenome
5. They may move around the tank till they find their sweet spot

  1. Hi Emboli

    How are you finding the Vortech MP10 in terms of noise? I keep hearing mixed review - Some say it is silent but some say the noise is unbearable. I don't know who to believe!

  2. Hello sorry for the late reply just saw your comment today. It is dead silent for me. It will vibrate if not installed properly. If your glass is thin then you should use the rubber padding provided with the powerhead. Hope this helps
