Adding an anemone to my tank

[cdcq12]

I want to put an anemone in my 24g tank, but I don't know if it would be right. I have a corner that has no coral in it and I can aim water flow in that direction if need be. Is there any anemones that would be good for me, or are they just not an option? Thanks

24 gallon aquapods dont have enough lighting to keep a nem with the stock hood, how longs ur tank been set up?

I have had it setup for a year and yes it does have enough lighting, I added on a 150w halide fixture recently. Sorry i forgot to mention it.

ohh okay, then BTA anemones are the easier side of aneomnes, but theres no saying that it wont wander around ur tank which is a big possibility

24g aquapod with 150w HQI would be just fine for BTAs. I would replace the stock pump with a MJ 1200 and add a hydorflo on the output for random flow. these are plug and play upgrades.

If you want to do more, you can drill the false wall and add two or three more 1/2 inch bulkheads with MJ 900s.

With a system this small though you will need automatic top off and a chiller or fans to provide the stability that an anemone needs.

Another important point is that if the anemone won't be the focal point of the system, don't bother getting one. In a system this small there isn't room for much else!
