Leishman September 13, 2015 Author Share September 13, 2015 I feed PE Mysis 2 to 3 times a week. They also like Rod's predator blend as it has huge chunks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keraxis September 14, 2015 Share September 14, 2015 I had one of my bubble tips go down the overflow and end up in a filter sock. Found it about 7 days later. But instead of finding it dead, it split from 1 into 5 smaller ones. Pulled em all out and they are all doing great. Although I'm not sure I can recommend this method Step right up folks and see the miracle method for splitting your anemone. You sir.... You look like a man with tank problems. Step right up and watch the miracle that is the filter sock method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave w September 16, 2015 Share September 16, 2015 (edited) I think you've got a way to at least make enough money to pay for your hobby. Which is saying a lot, given how much most people spend. I haven't used Rod's predator blend and I have nothing against the frozen food preparations. But I see those 3 oz frozen packages for something like $8 and do a little math in my head and get to $45 a pound for fish. I think if you're trying to turn a profit you could put shrimp or salmon chunks in the anems and the whole pieces should be taken with little waste. I think whole pieces of shrimp or salmon are more like $4 per pound than $45. That kind of thing might not matter if you were feeding a 30 gallon reef tank for fun, but if you're trying to be profitable I think you can't go wrong with real shrimp and other alternative whole fish for variety. That's just my two cents worth. Edited September 16, 2015 by dave w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leishman September 16, 2015 Author Share September 16, 2015 Rod's was free. I have a 5lb block of PE Mysis that will last forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctenophore September 17, 2015 Share September 17, 2015 One of the guys at avast told me he could naturally make nems spit by stressing them. You can pull the baskets up out of the tank so the nems are exposed for 30 mins or an hour then drop the baskets back in. Apparently worked very well and no cutting needed. Could be some thing to try down the road. Good luck and sick nems!!!! That sounds like me It worked by letting them spread over the rocks they were attached to during an extended length water change. The first time I did it was by accident when I drained some water, left the nems high and dry, went to get the clean saltwater and accidentally spilled the bucket. Had to make up some new water which I let mix for 30 min, and dumped it in. Behold, a few days later, probably 4 extra anemones. It worked every time after that. I think they keys were the sharp edges of the rocks + exposure to air + "new" saltwater. Probably any sort of similar stressors would do it.

zygote2k September 21, 2015 Share September 21, 2015 I've gotten them to split naturally by doing water changes with cold bottled water one week, then using warm bottled water the next week. I got 15 natural splits in the first year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmatt56 December 23, 2015 Share December 23, 2015 Will they stay in the pvc ends or do they eventually move out when acclimated in a tank with adjacent rock? Great idea for keeping them in one place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leishman December 23, 2015 Author Share December 23, 2015 they keep the foot in the pvc and extend out. All are in baskets so there is no rock for them to get to. removing them from the PVC to cut is real easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
