This 75G tank shares a 300G sump w/ my 240G SPS reef. I have upgraded the lights in my SPS reef to 400W MH and have some icecap 660 ballasts w/ SLR reflectors laying around now.

What color temps do most anemone's want?

Can I still grow macro algae at the desired color temperature? (I currently use 4000 kelvin to grow my macro)

Can I make this tank into a refugium/anemone tank?

Should I get rid of the cardinal, yellow tang, or the flame angel? (or shuffle into main tank)

Will an anemone tank bump my bioload up at all?

Any sugestions on anemone types for this tank? I do not plan to add any corals, that's the job of my other tank!
 
if you have never had an anemone, i would suggest the bta. even if you have had one, i still suggest the bta because it is very hardy. What kind of lighting do you have in this fuge? I think that with enough lighting, it can be made into a anemone/fug tank. the fish should be ok unless you get something like a carpet or lta. it will bump your bioload up.
 
I've had GBTA for a year. The refugium currently is only lit with T8 400K bulbs, but I have a set of icecap 660 w/ SLR reflectors and a variety of new icecap brand bulbs available to use (12K and 20K). Should get 400 PAR in that tank. Not sure if macro will grow under that though?

all BTA will bump my bioload up? (if so, how significant of a bump are we talking for 500G of water total)
