What type(s) of anemones are in there? How many clowns? Looks really cool. Should be nice when they fill out and the rocks are covered...

Very nice!!!
I'm gonna guess and say all bta's..rose and green and reg...the big one on bottom right might be a LTA-doreensis if not a bta....What an awesome display......I don't think that 1 pic is enough to properly break in that new cam.....U should take at least 4 or 5 including some close ups.

Okay I think I got the hang of loading pics so here we go.
This is a shot of my tank with the fish ripping around.
This is a shot of the custom made dual tank stand I made. Tank on top is for my seahorses and the one below is for my anemones.
Here is a shot of my very first anem. (And two that I didnt expect to survive when I recieved them.)
This is some of my LTA's
My Green Bubble with neon pink tips
This is my Rose Bubble. Its tentacles can stretch out really long!
And here are my two Barbouri seahorses in the tank above.

I have not seen that many clowns before in one tank accept for in a LFS. How long have they been together. Looks like a cool tank. I bet it's fun to watch in person.

Kids! Dont try this at home. I am a profesional and what you see here goes against everything I preach at work.
Either the anemone police or clownfish police will hate me for this.
I do not recomend this for those who dont really plan out their tank...
1 Large rose bubble anem
1 Green bubble anem
7 Long Tentacle Anemones
10 Java damsels
9 ocelaris clowns
2 black saddleback clowns
2 tomatoe clowns
1 clarkii clown
1 lawnmower blenny
1 mandarin goby
1 cleaner shrimp
2 pepermint shrimp
2 porcelain crabs
5 black brittlestars
5 brown brittlestars
many snails
Tank has been stable without any illness or injury for two months now. (well an ocelaris jumped out last weekend, but thats it.)
This tank was setup last summer and I did have several other anem originally, but they arrived in terrible condition and I learned lots about what is important to keep them alive. Used my other two 90 gal reefs as hospital tanks while I nursed the anems to health. The only things other than the clown last weekend to expire in here were some saddleback carpets that I now know can not survive being around bubble anems. FYI: Bubble anems are like topdog in the anem alleopathy war. LTA wilt at their touch, carpets wither and die. Even LTA will end up killing carpets. they just cant take the competition. Keep your LTA and Bubbles from touching, run carbon in your filtration and I recomend keeping caulerpa and other macroalgae. Worked for me so far. Now I just hope the clowns and damsels arent too hard to catch when/if I need to move them to another tank

10 brittle stars, 10 damsels and 14 clowns!!! I can't believe more haven't jumped on you, to tell you the truth.
I would stick to one species of anemone, if you want a harem of clowns, keep them all the same species (skunks are usually best for harem-type environment), and if possible(probably not) get those damsels out. Again, just what I would do in this situation. Everything else seems okay except the BTA's which look like the LTA's are winning the war...hope everything works out for you, but I think it will work much better a little more understocked than it is. When I had originally said it will look nice when they fill out, I had hoped the anems were the same species...without that, you have to hope they don't fill out, because of the warring problems.

Nearly 30 fish in one tank, soon to be 30 dead fish.

I have a LFS like that a few blocks from where I work, I will drive an hour to purchase a snail before I'll go back to a place like that.
It does make you sick to your stomach to watch. So sad and absolutely no excuse!

I am very sure you're a "professional"
seriously...even a newbie to the hobby would look at your tank and know it doesn't look right. Yeah, it does look really cute and fun to you but for the poor clowns and anenomes might be slowly wasting away due to stress and over capacity. Just my opinion, if you can pull it off...more power to you.
