    so Ive been contemplating getting a Bubble Tip Anemone for a while now. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for me?

    Tank is Over a year and half old. 120g, 20g sump/fuge and runs on a 8x54w T5HO. Bulbs are Giesemanns so not to shabby bulbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Are you going to buy locally or one-line?

    Keep a good eye one it until it foots within the rockwork for a couple of days so it does not wonder into your sps or powerheads.

    In an established tank BTA are pretty easy, your clowns are going to love it.

    Probably Online with Divers Den. I like the fact that their Nems are QT'ed for over months.

    Reasoning looking at it. With the loss of the achilles the tank got pretty messy. Took a month break, restocked with two wrasses to a point where Im fish happy, But the Big Tang made the tank a Nitrate disaster for the 1st time Since the tank was established now with it params back to being good for a few months. And Less corals in the tank cause of the disaster, I figured Now if ever would be a great time to purchase a BTA. Considering there are a lot less corals in the tank for it to harass. and let it establish before I restock a few corals.

    I had a Nem in my 29g under T5HO's, it was a GBTA and was really nice until my params got REALLY bad, i sold it after that.

    IF you think you have a stable tank and some room for it to grow i would go for it.
