Ok so it is a 90 gallon wave front tank. I run 240w leds on the tank that run a sunrise to sunset model. The tank is 3 years old with a upgrade at about a year and a half. it is a mixture of marco dry rock and base rock I had gotten when i bought the 90 gallon. I have three ph and a hob filter with a canister filter and a oversized skimmer. All together is pushing around 1800 gph. temp sits at 78 degrees I do not dose anything i just do water changes every two weeks at about 10 gallons at a time. I have snails and hermit crabs I have a small hippo tang, two occ clowns, a ywg and pistol shrimp, sixline wrasse and a lamarck angel, 2 green chromis I rescued and 2 bangaii cardinals. 2 lrg feather dusters, 100+ mini feather dusters, lps and sps, mushrooms, three RBTA. I think that answers everything I will try tonight and get some pictures up so that everyone can get a look at the tank and my idea to possibly get a mag anemone. if anyone has questions please feel free to ask.
As far as fish lost I have lost a powder brown tang due to carpet surfing and a lawnmower blenny for the same I had a tail spot blenny that disappeared after 2 years. I have lost a GBTA and a carpet that i tried to save due to a friend moving and shutting down his tank where i recieved the lawnmower blenny and the green chromis from as well.
So I am looking to get a Mag and place it to the far left of my tank build up a pedestal for it so it can get what it needs I know I will probably have to rearrange some coral which I am fine with and possibly add a few more pieces of lr to the tank to get the pedestal. which I know will be time which I am fine with so everything is right if and when I get one unless others think it would not be wise I am new to anemones so I do not want to get something I will not be able to take care of.
So I built up a perch in the tank and letting that works it way in the tank since it is another 10lbs of lr. Once I am good with it and where it is at I will look in to getting a mag if I can find a healthy speciman to take care of. Has anyone had RBTA with Mag and do they do well with each other?
Let me correct my self it was dry rock I soaked and tested the water to see if anythign leeched out I had this rock sitting in the garage i had ordered and had not done anything with it, with no change in the water then added it to my tank. I will get a picture tonight and post for you you can see the pedastel because it is white. I will let you know my plan is to let this build in the tank for a while before I even start looking in to a mag and find a good place to get one as well. Worm I am looking in to quantum like you said have not driven out there yet since I want to get everything in the tank straight first.
It does not look bad. I think it will work as long as it is kept to the left, That is that wider wave part correct?
What size are you looking at getting. I would be careful with the abnormal size of the tank and make sure it does not touch an odd ball edge.
So far I think it will work, again all depending on the size of it.
I will keep everyone up to date when I get it.

Yeah it is the wider side which is the only reason I am thinking about it. I would like to get a smaller medium size one nothing super large so it can grow in my tank and I can move things around if need be in the tank to make it work as well. What would you recommend getting?
Measure the distance, in that area, and see what the closest distance is between 2 sides, not close to a corner. Also see what the largest size is.
This is a factor because when we get anemones and they say they are 8" they do not always come that way because thy have not relaxed all the way yet. LOL
So you need to keep that in mind along with growth potential.

ok full length across is 19.5 inches to glass. I have 6 in in the front to the perch and in the back is about 5 in from the side I have 6 in to the perch. as currently setup I can rearrange a few rocks to change this if need to. I have attached some pics to help.
