several BTA's in one tank ? smallish tank ?

[proenca]

Hi there,

I have a Red Sea Max 130D ( 39 gallon ) and I was wondering.. possible to keep several anemones in one tank ?

no problems if they "touch" each other ?

I've sucessfully kept a BTA in my main reef, split and everything and I was wondering...

My RSM has upgraded skimming, normal T5 lights though ( 110w T5 + LED's ) with a good flow.

Just wondering .)

it looks like you dont have enough lighting, im not to sure though. the most you can keep would be 2 btas.

You are fine to keep multiple BTA's together. I have Roses, Greens and Browns all together with no problems.

Ive kept multiple RBTA with no problem shouldnt be with other's.

I currently have a 38 with 4 RBTA's and a Big GBTA. No issues.

Lighting is fine for BTA's, too. They don't need too much, and will move higher in the tank if they feel the need.

how much is your light ? I have 2 x 55w T5's plus 8 leds...

I plan to add ( before the BTA's ) a 75w led strip as well...

Are you sure it is a T5 and not a PC bulb? Do you have reflectors over them?

I have anemones under t5's and PC's...they just look a little better under T5's, IMO. Just be very careful if any die and get them out ASAP or they can crash your tank...boy, they are massively dirty when they die.
