Anemome

Mods, i wasnt sure where to put this, for i didnt know if an anemone is considered a coral or what. So, not to be rude or anything but please read my signature to answer the following question. In a year, year 1/2, do you think ill be ready for an anemone? Ill do it over winter break or something of next year so i can keep a close eye until its happy so it doesnt move into my little mp10. So, whatcha think? what anemones do you think i can keep? I think the only thing running against me is tank size, thats it...

[STRIKE]Doesnt really say in the sig, but i tore down the back wall and made a sump, cpr overflow with aqualifter [/STRIKE] Ok modded the sig, gives you more detail and background. And still staying under 6 lines and under 500 characters "with bbc code markup". Cant even count the # of times ive seen that haha

 

Your tank is set up well for an anemone, but because it's so small it will be hard to keep it in a good spot that it doesn't end up in the power head. Bubble tips are the best to start with.

 

I moved this to 'inverts' - this was a judgement call made a while back even though 'corals' is technically where anemones should be.

You have a nice setup and kudos for waiting before adding an anemone. I second BTA for ease. Do you have an ATO?

 

Love hearing from you matt, feedback is always appreciated from you. Thanks for the suggestion and moving the thread, sorry for the inconvenience. I do have an ato, im waiting for my cycle to end to set it up.

Thanks!

 

Ya, i figured it was going to be the size to make or break decisions. Researching BTA as we speak, thanks a lot.

 

Here's a good bta site for you to get almost all of the info you need:

Caring for Rose Anemones the right way - INTRODUCTION

 

a few weeks ago this anemone idea came in my mind so i started researching and that was the first thing i read. The whole thing. Thanks for the like though. Thats kinda ironic. A rose anemone is one of the anemones up there that ive really wanted to keep. Thanks again!

 

they are easy just throw a clown in there and the invert some meat chunks and watch it split. Protect it from going in the overflow or power heads

 

Not sure what you were saying. But a clown has nothing to do with health of an anemone or weather you can keep one, unless the clown is to large for the nem. An anemone doesn't need a clown to thrive and having a clown doesn't necessarily improve the health of the nem.
