How many nems in a 29 Gallon tank

[guppy74]

How many nems can you put in a 29 gallon tank with 4 T-5's at 96 watts should they be all the same or can you have different species of nems? I have a Green BTA right now. Clowns wont host it. Tried picture on tank nothing.

How long has it been? What kind of clowns do you have? Patience is your friend here. I definitely wouldn't recommend putting another species of anemone in your tank.

..... I definitely wouldn't recommend putting another species of anemone in your tank.

I agree, and I wouldn't even add another anemone at all, even if it was the same species.

Thanks for all of the help but it looks like I need another Nem. I went home from work last night to find mine sucked up in my Aquaclear filters intake tube and my tank was a mess cloudy water foul smell. But the tank has been running for a year water parems are good and I have two false percs.

Sorry about the anemone,sounds like you need to do a large water change.

Get some mesh and cover your intake strainers and powerheads.

 

[guppy74]

what kind of mesh do you sugest? and how would I secure it?

 

[ocellaris123]

I use "mesh 7," which can be found in the sewing isle in the craft store, and use cable ties (can be found at home depot) to secure them. Using his I have had bubble anemones go right up against my koralias without any damage. Overall less than 10 dollars to anemone proof your intakes.
