Next question (lol I'm sure I'll have quite a few). I know they won't always host them, but they keep trying to go into my feather duster. I want to get an anemone for my clowns. Someone told me that one of the safest and slowest moving anemones was the carpet anemone. Is this true?
 
There is no guarantee that clowns will host anything. They may be just as likely to host a powerhead than a anemone. lol

A nem is not a purchase to take lightly either. They require an established tank with pristine water and an uber amount of light.
 
+1 I have a rose bubble tip nem and it reaches almost to the top to get light. I have new lights coming in, but they need a lot of light and a established tank. And my clowns host the mag cleaner and not the rose nem... SMH
 
I'm getting the aqua blue LED 60 (2 units) in a few weeks so lighting isn't an issue. And I'm not planning on the anemone for a few months. Just trying to get my wishlist more concrete.
 
And the only reason I really want an anemone is just to see if they will. I like the look of the carpet anemone but I'm not in a rush. Lol. Thanks for the I put guys.
Btw- how much fluxuation in water parameters in normal after adding two new fish? It has been a month since I added before and my water was perfect before the additions of my clowns. Now my ammonia went up and my nitrites went up. Just a little, but still wanna make sure. Should I do another water change? I changed out 10 gallons yesterday and Saturday was a 25 gallon water change.

I returned the green flower pot today and got a full refund. The owner apologized for one of his people telling my husband that it was a hardy coral. So- all is well in the tank again. Lol. And I have banned my husband from going to the LFS without me.

Cool new corals! Love the bubble! :)
 
Thanks. It's a pretty good size too. Which is nice. I'm gonna partially fill and then do little frags. Wishlist coming soon
 
Yes I to started with a 29 gal used tank. Heck if it holds water and the price is right I see no reason not to. Mine is only about a month plus old now.
 
Mine is about 2 months now. And yeah, I agree about used tanks. I couldn't beat 200$ for a drilled 90 gallon with 30-40 gallon sump and all equipment needed and 100 lbs of live rock. I'm already watching criagslist like a hawk for another great deal- I'm addicted!
 
Yep, 20+ is a good size. In addition, the longer the tank the better, meaning if you are going to get a 20g, get a 20g long, as opposed to a high. :)
 
Well I finished the frame of my canopy today. Took forever. Lol. Tomorrow I will add the siding and begin the doors on the front and add the top which will also be on hinges for any big changes that need to be done. I will also finish the platform (only adding 4 inches of height to the current stand but I have made it extremely well supported). Big plans and only a few days left on vacation. My plan is to have everything done and be ready for moving the tank by Friday when I would do my PWC anyways. Let's hope I can keep on schedule!!! Lol
 
Here is the frame of the canopy...

It's upside down lol, but you can get the point.

There's a space in the back for chords and pipes. There will be double doors on each side of the front and then the top will have two doors as well. It's built put of 1x4 so it's not too heavy but it will still support my lights.
