My anenome killed my clove polyps! not all of them though, they spread fast. i didn't think anenomes actually moved that much but this one is all over my tank. I didn't realize this hobby was so expensive! already put over $1000 into a 10g nano reef tank. There has to be cheaper ways!! does anyone have suggestions or where to get stuff! I'm out of money, and want to expand.

I know how you fee, I have already put $1500 into my 122 gallon FOWLR and I am just finishing stocking it. Built most of the stuff for it myself to save some money, IE sump, glasslid.
