do you have to shade to cut down on the light intensity?Last summer, I used a 30% shade cloth and still have some bleaching issues with stony corals. I will use it again perhaps along with some lighting films to further cut back on the light as well as change its color.

Can you elaborate on what you are doing with anemones.I just bought one from a local hobbyist/friend to see how well it does in the greenhouse environment. Did you have a specific question?

| Hi Steve, I was wondering if you were working on propagation techniques, be it trying to get them to split on their own more often, or slicing. Thx Craig

I was wondering if you were working on propagation techniques, be it trying to get them to split on their own more often, or slicing.I have done both. I have cut them in half as well as encouraged them to split on their own with large water changes. I the greenhouse, I will likely be doing only cutting because of the practical problems with doing "large" water changes routinely on multiple 600 gallon systems.

| Take this for whats worth as I have not tested this but I plan to this summer. With larger tanks it does cost a lot to do water changes so I am going to try to put the anemones in a reaceway tank above the big tank. It will have a pump curculating water to it from the main sump but I will also use it to introduce the water from topoff and water changes. I was not going to top off with chemicals, just RO/DI water. The thought is that the regular stressings will cause enough stress to make them split. I can then use carbon in the return to the sump to remove any toxins that may be produced. Faz
