I think some people overlook the actual water volume aspect.
Between the live rock, and the nem, there isn't much left.

post pics tho, let's see this thing!

Ya it is huge now that has fully opened I need a bigger tank pretty soon I am excited about how big they get and how they split, a tank full of anemones would be cool. Both clowns are hosting the anemone now....

Your first post stated that you had an LTA --- they are not known for splitting, in fact I have never hard of them doing that. Was that a typo and you have a BTA?

A correctly set up tank can have an anemone within a week .... i've done it several times. My latest tank had a S. gigantea added after being up for a very, very short period of time .... still with me nearly a year later. If you think that I move too fast in adding livestock, You would cry if you saw my acclimation procedures... lol

The key is having no die off from your rock. In this case it was established rock, so no harm, no foul....

i didnt mention the overload of the livestock, i was saying you are moving a little fast. set tank up monday fully stocked by friday. i dont think anyone should add an anemone to a tank less than 6 months old.

now the overstocking, i wouldnt put 3 clowns in a 30 gallon tank. do you feel bad about having those fish in such a small space?

its just not recommended. i think that you are talking about some of the more sensitive things, clams and anemones, that we put in our tanks.

manderines should be in a mature tank, but can be kept in a new tank if you keep adding pods. some things can be done, but just arent recommended.
