Clownfish compatability in a 300 reef + anenomes

[Texastravis]

Im setting up my 300 soon and im trying to plan out all fish/corals ill be getting.


So far i just have tangs planned out as follows: Aquilles, blonde naso, haw naso, blue regal, powder blue, purple, yellow, and lastly will add a baby Sohal.

As for clownfish im not sure what I want! I have a beautiful black percula that I have in another tank that I will put in but dont know what else to get. I was thinking of getting another black percula, and several true perculas. Id also want to add a couple GSM clowns but heard they are agressive. Will this matter too much since my tank is quite large (300 gallon). Id like as many clowns as possible.

Id also love some Rose anenomes but I heard they move around and could sting my other coral..."snif snif" whats everyones take on this? Also heard I should probably wait about 4-6 months before ever adding an anenome. I will be running 3x 250 watt luminarc IIIs with perhaps 12k reeflux or 14k phoenix.

Any help, advice, suggestions are appreciated! Feel free to chime in on what you think I should put in my tank

My take is, get the rose anemone before any corals. Let it get happy where it is. If it does not move, great! If it continues to move. You probably have not created conditions it finds suitable. What I find workts the best is a reverse W shape. Basically Rock against the back of the tank with out croppings towards the front at either end plus 1 on center. My BTA was placed in the center-forward area and has not moved more than an inch on either side. My other BTAs moved over to that spot without any question somehow so i have a pillar of btas. You want to try to avoid open crevaces in these out croppings I have found since they try to squeeze between them. if you dont putty your rocks, you will end up with a smashed bta in some cases. I sure hope this 300 is a cube-esque tank too. That will help a lot. Avoid using powerheads too. Used close loop that draws from behind the rock and outputs to a locline with a diffuser nozzle. NEVER Point them at anemone. That should get you going. Its like 2 AM and Im dead tired so i probabl y forgot some stuff but others will chime in im sure.

I would also like to know about adding multiple clown species in one tank. I am setting up a 300 aswell. I know it is usually a no no in smaller tanks but what about one this size?
