i want to get a carpet nem but dont want do deal with the trouble of them they need perfect water.

those look nice!!!! well, looks like i know what to spend money on come tax time!! haha!, my 120 is only 5 foot though, so i could probably use the same lights you think?

 

[daugherty]

call them they will make lights for you for the length of your tank i would add more bulbs for a 120. never mind just higher wattage bulbshttp://www.catalinaaquarium.com/pro...=1448&osCsid=16f6d774bf0f376a0d946ebb79857ed2

Another thing to look at,Is the water parameters.In a predator tank,its going to be tough to keep the nitrates down.High nitrates are as bad on nems as not enough light.

also if your going to put the nem in the 20 gallon for your daughter you need to wait atleast 8-12 months after the tank is up and running before you should add it. and a splitting anemone is not always good, sometimes they do that when one part of the nem is about to di and sometimes when the nem splits both new anemones die or one dies

Dustin is right, an anemone splitting is often due to stress. They can breed asexually, so if they are not happy (i.e. insufficient lighting, poor water quality), they'll split since doubling themselves doubles their chance of survival.

well then the splitting makes since then! thanks guys!!
