20 gallon Anemone tank

[Arvind]

Hi, I have my 20 gallon IM running for about 3 years with some basic corals in it, including 2 small BTA. I have 2 Kessil 160's on it, MP 10 and another small powerhead.
Its a pretty stable tank. It does have black Tahiti sand in it... so I am sure that absorbs some light. Running the lights about 8 hours at about 70 percent.

I have always wanted just a BTA tank, I have a lot of clowns, and would love to have a harem in there as well, but 20 might be a little small.

Anyhow, any advice on converting this to a anemone tank? I love the ones I see online and even the one at Neptune. Just stunning.

thanks
Arv

I believe that a 20 is way to small for a harem tank, and not just because of the clowns. Nems "slime" a lot and are very dirty. In a tank of that size with too many nems you're going to have real water issues.

Thanks Bruce now you are going to make me go all prove you wrong and try to make this work. thanks!

He didn’t say you can’t do it. He said you shouldn’t do it. Nobody is challenging you to do something you shouldn’t do.

It sorta did. Hard to tell in text. I’m trying to Be serious though. We really don’t wanna encourage people to do things that aren’t in the best interest of the animals...

I love my nems so much they have a 20 cube and 40 breeder all to themselves. 40 breeder is for growout/sale and the cube is my nem display tank in the living room.
