Great pics! I have 5 BTA's in my tank right now, haha. Why don't you trade or sell it once it splits?

I already have...I've given some away and just trade one...it's just trying to make them stop! It's like one of those girls that just keeps having babies to have em....cuz she can... I want my anemones to take a proactive stance in their cloning,lol, less of them on this earth when it's hard for me to catch them....

I don't know what it is about them, but they facinate me. I was going to set up a nem tank in my biocube once I established it a little better. Glad I didn't, if that thing boiled with all my nems in there who knows how bad it would have smelt!

 

It's not a bad problem to have! Your tank is looking great btw!

Wait, are you giving out rbta babies to good homes for free now? I might have to think more seriously about a nem

well I traded one of the last for store credit...and ifI can continue to catch them i will probably be doing that more..the 2 igave away were to people that have been very helpful to me...though its not off the table if these things keep splitting every other month though,lol

I'd be willing to trade a couple of my lavender anemone clones for an RBTA, but would like to see any new anemone enthusiasts get priority

UPGRADE time!

I just secured a wonderful 150g tank!

Same dimensions as my old tank!

 

This will take a few weeks up to 2 months to build as my husband says I have to be responsible and pay off some bills first :(

But as I have to buy 2 new d120's and a new return pump, I guess I can understand.....

 

Anyways, here's a pic of my old tank...I loved this thing, and it was my first large setup....

I'm going to keep everything from the current setup and some more rock and lose some of the anemones and ALL of the bornemans are coming out!

Landlord didn't exactly sign off..but never answered back...same thing though right? Lol

And the new, used, tank has a really pretty wood stand and canopy, but it will most likely get painted beluga black also (as long as I can find that paint still) and some pretty silver leaf trim on the doors...and of course shell handles,lol

 

That was my old tank and the stand which I made, almost all by myself,lol thankfully my husband made the cuts on the plywood for me...but other than that, it was all me!

 

I'll have to be good for the next few weeks, and work on the new tank on my one day off, if my boss ever gets back I may get to take Labor Day weekend off and have 3 full days to work on it....

So I pulled out the rock in the 50g that had the bornemans on it and one small rock that was getting some HA...

Thinking I'm going to try and save the bornemans and putting the inside my sump it he new tank? They are really pretty but they just sting the crap outta everything around them...so whatcha think?

Lol thanks Isaac....photo fu** it won't let me grab the img codes still...all others yes,lol I knew someone could fix it for me :)

This is some of the dry rock I got from Londonloco last month...figured I'd get a jump on making it live before putting stuff in the new tank hopefully in 2 or 3 weeks...then with the stuff I'm getting from Incredible Corals and the ceremeco piece I got, and another one I want to order....I'll have enough rock in my tank for myself and Isaac!lol

Yeah..I'm waiting for it to split...again...like for the 8th time...

And now the clone on the right hand side can scoot up if it needs too..and now I kind of made a euphyllia rock over there too..and nothing to sting them!
