New tank idea.

[JohnnyMantis]

Okay this is an idea for my next tank that I have been toying with. I would like to have a cube tank (20.5 x 18.5 x 21.5) with just an anemone and two black and white Clowns. For the substrate I want to use Tahitian Moon Sand or maybe Gray Coast Calcite. I do not want to use live rock, the reason being I do not want coralline algae, so I am looking at alternative like black tumbled glass slag or inert stone. I want to perch the anemone, a very vibrant purple, red or green animal, on the rock and I know it may not stay there. I will need a small cleaning crew, but a very inconspicuous one at that.

Any ideas or suggestions on lighting, filtration, anemone etc..?

Thats about a 35.3 gallon tank if I did my math right...

175watt MH Lamp would do nicely.

Oh yeah, it's advertised as a 30 gallon.

what are u going to use as a filter if there is no live rock? you could go with an lta whitch stays on the sand instead of rock..

 

[JohnnyMantis]

Not sure, that's why I'm asking. There is a solution out there somewhere.
