any anemones that i can have under pc's?

[fishkid6692]

i have 36watts of light over my 10g and i was wondering if there was any anemone that i could put in it. so theres about 3.6 watts per gallon. thanks in advance!

10G is too small and 36W is not even enough for a BTA


i would go with a froggspawn.

Have you ever heard of mini carpets. Would be the perfect for your set up. They are hard to find but there is a guy selling them in CT, I would have bought some from him but he won't ship. Look in "coral liovestock and trading".

 

[GSMguy]

MINI Carpets are fish eaters.

Same with hairy mushroom.

ok i am going to get a MH lamp for my 10g. does that give me some more options?

 

[GSMguy]

a small BTA that you can move to a bigger tank when it outgrows the 10G

you will need to keep the parameters of the 10G constant and perfect it is hard to do in a small tank.

 

[GSMguy]

if your getting a Halide pony up the 45 bucks and upgrade to a 30Breeder.

i already have the 10g set up. it's been up for about 2 months. also i don't have room for a 30 breeder in my room.

You could keep an Epicystis crucifer in your 10 gallon. Just don't keep very much else and do weekly water changes. Also you will want all 36 watts of light to be daylight (6,000K to 10,000K). PC's are preferable to MH for such a small tank.

i wouldnt suggest a anem if your tank is only 2 months old.

i'm not getting it right now but i'm planning on what to get. i think i might try a lta and a pair of wild percs. but i think that would be overstocked.

dude your moving very fast with everything, what do you need a 3rd pair of clownfish for, take care of the first two pairs for a while.

 

[fishkid6692]

why not? i have the time to take care of them.

Agree with GSM, you do seem to be moving fast. How long have all these tanks you have been set up?

Having time to take care of them isn't always the issue. The maturity of your tanks can make a difference in the survival of your livestock.

my 10g has been up for about 2 months. but i used live sand, live water, and fully cured live rock. at first it was a mantis tank but i want to have another pair of clowns. my ph is 8.3, my ammonia is 0, my nitrates are 0, my nitrites are 0. the tank is established.

What about the other tanks?

I really can't see more than 2-3 at the most fish in a 10 gallon tank, and not an anemone at all. I had GSP in my 12 for my percs. I only have 2 fish and an anemone in my 40 gallon tank.

I also think your rushing too much. I consider my tank NEW it's been up 6 months. I have a crocea clam, frogspawn, a hammer, GSP, flower pot (not doing well) newly a sailfin and just added a cooperband butterfly along with a few other things.

To start with I'd just do some really simple stuff keep stepping it up.

threadjack: my copperband butterfly is killing my feather duster He sticks his nose down into it and rips it up... I think its dead already idk.....
