I had a seabe in a 29 gallon for about two years, moved it to a 90 gallon then to my 180. I had it over eight years now.

you don't have MH.......................

but other than your lighing sucking, you can keep one in a small tank a long as your water is good. They might move around though so if you have other corals it can sting them.

right on, so you decided to get the one i suggested, hehehe , hows your sump comming along? Thats actually the skimmer i'm buying too lol I already have one, but i want that one insted.

You should be able to keep an anemone in there just keep your prams in check. Good luck

im stilling trying to figure out the hole sump thing. all the number, elbows and head loss make it very hard. but i think i almost have it.

I kept an RBTA in my 20g long with a 175w halide for a year. When I bought it it was a little over 4", but now it is over 6" with feeding it every week or so, and having a True Percula clown hosting in it. It looks like you have some good lights, and a decent skimmer. I would definantly say go for it. I would do an RBTA with a true percula or O. Clown.

which is better to add first the fish or anemone
