Too much flow for BTA?

[reeformadness]

I am thinking about getting a bubble tip anemone at my LFS, but I worry I might have too much flow. I have two mjmods that are supposed to produce 2400 gph each. I also have a mag 7 in my sump that comes out my double return. I know this is not rediculous flow, but I've heard BTA's don't do well if there is too much flow. I really want an anemone because I plan on adding some clowns to my tank.

It will move to where it like it if you do. Mine is parked right in front of my ph.

Good news and bad news. Good news is that the anemone will travel around the tank and find a spot with the right light and flow levels. Bads news is that sometimes its favorite spot is somewhere where you can not see it very well. At which point you will have to adjust the light and/or flow to get it to move again

You might also want to check in the anemone forum to see how people keep anemones away from their moded MJ.

So you are saying it will be OK? I have heard you don't see the "bubble tips" if there is too much flow.

thanks Jim. On my way.

My gbta is in a back corner of my tank where I can't really see or feed it. It is under one of my returns so I guess it likes flow. I have moved it several times and it just goes back, oh well...

thanks. I think too much flow might not be a problem. Someone did suggest to me that they can get caught in my mjmods intake. Do you cover your intakes on your powerheads?

I have tunze so its not a problem
