File fish. Cleaned ours right out.

Don't waist your time with 10 gallon. No smaller than 55 if you want any options for what you will stick. Bigger is easier to maintain too.

Go bigger. Ten gallons is harder to keep and you have very few options with fish etc. Bigger is better. I recommend no smaller than 55 gallon. You will eventually want bigger.

Agree with this!!! Do the 125 and you won't regret it. If space is not and issue you will get a lot more options with the 125. We have a 90 and 125 beside each other.

Float your bag to acclimate to temp. Then remove a little water from the bag an add some tank water into the bag. Wait 15 mins and do it again. Do this three or four times and then add your fish or coral to the tank. DO NOT add the water from the bag it came in. BEST thing is to do this into a...

You can syphon out the hair algae when you water change if you are careful. Turn off the power heads and scrap the algae as you suction. +++ on the RODI water too. We had it ten times worse and the water changes made a huge difference. More frequent with RODI and suction as much out as you can...

I would go straight for the 75 gallon. Especially if you want to do corals and fish. Much easier to maintain too. Bigger is better in this hobby.

We have a 90 gallon and both our clowns host the anemone. The size of tank you choose will depend on the type of clown you get. Do some research on line so you are already informed when you go to get it.

Totally agree!! Damsels are devil fish. Will never get them again.

Buy an RO/DI unit.

Don't worry. We have two clowns that did not go near the anemone for several months and then, bang, one started and with in a couple weeks they are in it all the time. Some clowns just never do host either. Just their personality.

My advice would be to plan on some kind of coral in the future. FOWLR tanks are great but once you get into this hobby you WILL want some kind of coral eventually. Especially with that size if a tank. Go for lighting, etc that will allow for some corals and you won't end up buying stuff twice...

Totally agree. They can, and will, will move. We got lucky. But we are going to try it again anyway. If it moves we'll just take the pot out. Worth a try for a $1.50 pot.

Put it in a small terra-cotta pot, where you want it in the tank. Preferably with some flow in the area. Then put the anemone in the pot. Ours LOVES it and has never moved since we put it in there.

My son and I used a small terra-cotta pot from the craft store. Put it where we wanted the anemone, put the little critter in there and he LOVES it. Has not moved, only grown. He stretches out and looks awesome. Can't figure out how to post a pic but it is definitely what we are doing in the...
