What would the ideal setup include?
Perfect Anemone Tank
- Thread starter pledosophy

For me??
A 500g long. 4-6 Sea Swirls. FULL length overflow. Pedestals away from back wall. and Prob 8 radions / equivalent with total adjustment. Make it an up and down (pedestals) setup so that I would have about 15 or so anemone's in the tank.
Of course the normal skimmer and such.
Now lets see what others think. LOL.. That is a cool dream tank for me.

For me? I wanna do a 120 clownfish harem tank. 120 pounds of BRS Pukani rock, ATI Sunpower/Nanobox LED Hybrid, MP40, Vertex Supra Sump, fully automated with Apex, crap ton of RBTAs and 30 clownfish.
For me, sitting right next to Worm. That is pretty much my ideal tank, though I'd like to have some SPS in there.
Come on down. I have beer and wine. HAHA.. Once I get started and do my garage there will be plenty of room.
Or you can just go and look at my web camera.

Shiny!
I've just finished 'my' perfect anemone specific aquarium. It's a 50"x50"x15" tall, shallow reef, tide pool, look down, DIY plywood tank. Top is open for complete unobstructed top viewing and the front side has a 46" x 13" rimless glass viewing pane.
My hope is, once ready, I can keep a few nice magnifica of various colors on the shallow rockscape and maybe a blue gigantea on the sand bed. Several clownfish of course as well.
I'm excited about the possibilities the dimensions afford.

Sound very nice. Gigantea isn't really a sand anemone. With that low of a tank, and with only Gigantea and Magnifica, I would recommend no sand in the DT. You can use a sump/refugium with a remote sand bed if that is what you want. The sand bed will promote a lot of burrowing worms that will just eat though your wood and cause your tank to sprung a leak.

Before I built my perfect anemone tank I would have to build a climate controlled greenhouse.
The fiberglass tank (perhaps with viewing windows) would be 8' long x 3' wide x 3' deep with a wave maker on one end and an overflow at the other, perhaps some dump buckets in between to create additional turbulence. There would be a raised sand bed with many rock outcroppings. I would keep 5-6 giganteas, each with its own set of clowns under natural light and see if I could get them to spawn for me.

I agree too. Here in South Texas, outdoor in a green house to keep the temp go too hot or too cold and the rainfall from diluting the salinity would be ferfect.
Yup. It's amazing what a half million bucks doesn't get you in CA

According to my real estate friends, for a lot of buyers in CA, a big yard is actually a negative. They don't want to deal with the upkeep.
True... after all, who wants to spend time mowing grass when you could be playing with your tank instead?
