Hello, Im just getting ready to add livestock to my tank and I was wondering what types of invertabrates i could keep with my current set up. I have a 29 gal tank with 35lbs of live rock, about 2" sand bed, and 110 Watt PC set up (55W actinic, 55W 10k). I was thinking about adding an aneome of some sort as well as a few of the more common corals such as mushrooms and buttons. I was wondering what people with similar systems have had sucess in keeping in the lines of clams, corals, flame scallops and aneomes with a similar set up.
 
with 110w PC's, you'll do fine with almost all softies and LPS corals. the anemone should be fine, but the clams deserve halides... some lower light SPS should also survive if given ample flow, but may brown out.

i've never tried a flame scallop, but heard they usually die in captivity since they need to be fed often... i wouldn't invest in one since they are indeed hard to keep alive.
 
Yeah, I figured clams would be out of my range. As far as the flame scallops go does anyone know how often they need to be fed/how much/what ... im a marine biology student and i have access to equipment to culture my own phytoplankton in any amounts that i need... was thinkin bout gettin one since i saw them at my LFS for 6.00$ a piece...
