3 gallon for sure ....

A 3 gallon is way to small for an LTA, or any other hosting anemone.

alright thanks so you trying to say that i should return the anemone and maybe get something else?

In a 3g I wouldn't put anything more than a small piece of frogspawn and a small clown, and keeping that going will be a challenge.
Small tanks are much harder to run than large.
I wouldn't put a nem in anything smaller than a 30g, and that's really pushing it IMO.

You've been in the hobby since 03, so not quite the same exp as someone new to hobby for one, and 6 mo is not what I consider long term success.
In a small tank, it's tough to keep params stable long term, and intakes are SO close to a nem, especially as it grows.
