Can I Support Two Bulb-tipped Anemones

[DAW1906]

I have 4. A. ocellaris clownfish (2 B&W and 2 orange) and would like to try and get each pair to host in an anemone. My current tank is 120 gallonS with a 15 gallon sump. I have an AquaC-EV-180 skimmer 2 Maxi-Jets 1200’s and 4 Maxi jet 600’s in side the tank along with a Penguin Power Head 1140. I have a mag-drive 9.5 for my return and I also have a mag drive 7 running my chiller which also returns into the tank. For lighting I have 2 Aquamedic HQI 250W metal halides with 10K bulbs. I also have 120 lbs of various types of live rock. All of my water parameters are at 0 and have been that way for several months. I was thinking about adding two bulb-tipped anemones. Do you all think that I have enough flow, lighting, and space to support the two anemones? What else might you all recommend? Thanks

That tank is fine for the two BTA's your trying to house in it, Try to place the anems on opposite sides on the tank.

I've had a few oc's black and orange and all of them are CB and they all host everything I put in the tank from clay pots to BTA's.
You should be fine.

You're more likley to have a problem with aggression between the clowns than with the BTAs. Keeping the BTAs on opposite sides of the tank and out of sight-line of each other may help minimize aggression.
