I think or should say guarantee your going to need a much larger tank, Carpets and Nano's don't mix.

Good luck
 
and better lighintg.. if that is stock lighting.. and it looks like a very new tank.. but what do i know..
can you tell us a little bit more about ur tank??
but from your sig. you seem to know what your doing
 
carppets are the hardest to keep,. and should be bout with haste. due to they ***** ship poor.

they do need high light and good water.

if its mouth starts gapeing open , chances are u will lose it

good luck
 
oh you mortals, you have no idea. my water parms are perfect, my carpet is perfect as you can see by the pics, and yes he will make it, dont mean to sound rude but please leave those type of opinions to yourself about losing live stock, for i know what i am doing, i have an aquapod 24 with mh's that when he gets big enough i am moving him into, as you can see he likes to eat and is very sticky, eating, very sticky, equals very healthy.
 
this in not my opion , these are facks . they do ship poor and they need lot of light and good water , and if it mouth is gapeing it may die,, is there anything rude in there ,, i did not say it was going to die for sure, but i think the the smallest tank for these are at least 30 gallons or more. but if u do take this the wrong way, maybe it will die. lol

ps welcome to rc

I think you are all a bunch of mortals!! water parameter do NOT fluctuate MORE on smaller tanks and his tank has enought light!!..LOL

(of course those are a bunch of lies :D)

This is not one of your local reef clubs bluecarpet, welcome to the real world.
 
Well maybe if you guys could spell i would be able to understand you. I left another site b/c all i got over there was bashing and people tell me my stuff is going to die. I have been in this hobby long enough to know what can work and what can not. And i know for sure that this carpet will survive in this tank for a long time, in fact it will be ok in there until it outgrows the system. It is not that i dont like opinions it is that i do not like unhonest opinions, the fact is you guys and gals know nothing about my system, and the only person that can say water parms are fine is me and no one but me. You are entitled to your own opinions, but try to make them justified. Now lets all have a nice time and not get to mad or frustrated, that is not why i joined. Now back to the comments, but justified and as honest as they can be. Also i had a green carpet which was about the same size that lived in the very same nano for about a year then i moved him to my lagoon. Which i will post pics when i get a better camera.

Reef clubs are where i have gained a whole lot of information about anything and everything that has to deal with reef tanks. Oh and by the way natural blue carpets are much more hardier of a species than the dyed ones, which this one is naturally blue.
 
By the way the blue carpet does fine under 4-6 watts per gallon conditions, with trace elements of calcium and iodine.
 
Plus with the presence of my two percs in the tank, the anemone has acclimated rather fast and well, the clowns really know how to make an anemone feel at home.
 
Thank you, they are fantastic creatures. What is your 20 gallon like, lighting, water parms, how long has it been set up, etc. I will help you with anything you need to know. They do like 4-6 watts per gallon of lighting, not to much overflow, but before i get into depth what is your set-up like?
 
i havent order my lights yet but i want to get this kind.. is this ok?

i havent read much into corals yet.. wanted to start them over the summer maybe so ill be reading into it very soon.. all parameters are fine except my nitrates are always bout 20-30 ppm. i have 5lbs live rock.. will be getting 15 more by next month.. and its been set up for about 3-4 months now. o i have one powerhead only 145gph.. how much should i have gph?
 
I feel that a 20 is way too small for a carpet. Plus, IME, not a good choice for a first anemone, a BTA would be better. However, I would still suggest a bigger tank.

The link didn't work.

For lights, I feel that using watts/gallon isn't a great guideline. It doesn't take into account the actual size of the tank. (mainly height).
