BTA tank? Possibly...

[Fishfreak218]

OK,
well i have a 20H running with 72w of PC lighting.. i know its possible to have a BTA under PC's and if worst comes to worst he would go in my 90g. (2x250w MH and 2x96w PC)
right now the tank has a few lbs. of LR and a TON of coral but its a holding tank for my 30g. and my 90g. (i broke down the 30g. and am resetting it up in a week or two and the 90g. is going up in july)...the tank has water from my old 30g. and LR from my 30g. so its pretty stable..so it about a year old... .. i just need to add a new sand bed (i dont have one right now.. i didnt keep any from the 30g.)...
the anemone would be allowed to go as high up as it wanted too.. and the tankmates would be a pair of Pink Skunk Clowns..
thank you very much

P.S. if you think of a better anemone for this tank and the clowns let me know.. (i dont know of any though)..

I am, by no means an expert! But, I did have a bad experience with a misidentified anemone and learned a lot. I also happen to have pink anemonefish! I now have a BTA for them and they are SO HAPPY!! So, IMHO, go for it! The BTA's love to hang out on live rock, so you might not need much of a sand bed. check out Karen's webpage, now SHE is an expert!! She has taught me SO much and she is very patient and kind!!

ya.. i have looked at the website MANY times.. and untill i read that site didnt think any anemones besides rock/flower anemones could live under PC's thank you very much reefallen..
the sand bed is not for the anemone.. its for asthetic reasons...
i know a little bit about anemones.. just not a ton....and i know they (BTA's) like putting there foot in a crevice in the rock
