Wanting to add RBTA, few Q's...

[simion3]

I would like to add a RBTA but I was planning on re-doing my aquascaping so I would be taking everything out and putting it into a 40 gallon until I'm done, probably only for a day maybe 2. Should I add an RBTA after I've got the rocks setup again and before I put all the other corals and fish in or should I put everything else in then put the anemone in? I've also got to ocellaris clowns that we hosting in a goniopora but I took it out so should I wait until the anemone has settled before putting them in or just put it all in at once?

I would put the BTA in before the corals, give him a few days to wander and settle in, then place corals in. This may or may not work to your advantage as anemones move when they want and theres no way to accurately predict it. I am always ready to move corals if I need to.

yeah I thought that putting it in first would allow him some time to decide where he likes it and settle in a bit and i never really had a problem moving corals so i guess i will give it a try
