I am in an unfortunate situation, my boss, well my boss's boss (ceo) heard on the grapvine that i keep marine fish and have done for a a couple of years. He calls me to his office and asks if i can help him.
He has a 30G tank with a couple of i think pecula clowns (could be ocellaris) been in there a week hes just from what i can tell a long tenticle BTA. He asked if i could the clowns to live in the Anemone as thats what his kid wants.
So i went over there and first assesed his tank, i told him his lights are inadequete (standard 40 w t8 )and his tank was nowhere near mature for that anemone i wont even attempt an anemone in my year old 40. He told me : "thats not important can you get the clowns in there"
They weren't paying any attention to it when i got there but i think i have arroused their suspision i cut a lifesize picture of a clownfish out and stuck it to the glass very close to the anemone, i also changed the power head configuration a little to try to get the Nem to open up a little. i fed the new some squid when i was there and he took it!
Now they are swimming around and around it brushing up against it a little and then swimming off?
Am i near to getting the job done?
P.S will do my best to puesade him to get some more watts over that tank, and research a bit more before his next purchase!
Is it now a waiting game?
Some more tank specs for reference hes got about 40LB of live rock ( not much life on it a shallow sand bed, hes running a protien skimmer (prism) and a canister filter.
