ok so i call this my tank cause i take care of it. but it is at my girlfriends house. she basically decides what she wants to put in it and such, and i do it:D this is just one of my setups, i have my own ten gal at my house with a condy nem and a clarki clown, and a 20g reef. but this is about the LTA. the tank has been up since aug 9 2009. it has gone thru alot, she had a BTA for bout 3 weeks it died to the powerhead. so we got a LTA, the clowns took to it after bout 2 weeks. the female has been enjoying it for bout 2 weeks so far. the male fights to go in but she seems to not want him in it at all, and attacks him when he trys to go in. its kinda funny. ok well time for pics

it has been growing so much, i increased water changes to 3 gallons a week to kinda help keep it cleaner. i plan to creat a thread for my 20 soon. i just recently got a LTA for that its awsome looking
 
Looks very nice! Water changes are good idea with such a small tank as well but won't the nem outgrow that tank quickly?
 
um it has been in there since about november, yes it will prolly out grow the tank some time withing the next year. i know she would like to get a bigger tank, maybe when i take my 20 down we will switch tanks, idk we will see.

thnx
 
That is a sweet looking nano tank setup. I did the LTA, but as the other poster has said, I am sure the anemone will outgrow the tank very soon.
 
yeh im shure its gonna soon. i am in the proces of seting up a %* gallon and i plan to put my LTA and possibly her LTA in there.
