Noob on nems need advice

[adra]

Trying to set 4x2x2 nems dominated tanks.
Need to know wether is it OK to put RBTA and GBTA next to the other.
Thanks.

Color morphs of the same species will be fine next to/touching each other. It is when you mix species that you run into trouble.

And one more thing, any advice on how many could i put ( RBTA and GBTA ) for 4x2x2 tank size after finish cycling the water?

Have you kept anemones before?

I would wait 4-6 months depending if you have kept them (( long term )) before.

 

[adra]

yes, got carpet in my mix lps. seems doin ok.

could you tell me 4-6 month of what. cycling?

 

[Toddrtrex]

How long have you had the carpet? And what kind?

Not cycling per say, that should take about a month -- give or take a week. But, it will give time for the tank to fully settle in, and allow you to get used to the tank. After the cycle finishes, there are still going to be some changes in the tank, and wouldn't want to subject the anemones to that.

a tank needs time to stabilize algae blooms nutrient cycles etc just because it has cycled doesn't mean you can start craming things in it must be done slowly to be sure your nitrifying bacteria can keep up with and change with your nutrient load
