Anemone Tanks

[Gant]

I'm setting up a new mixed reef and decided to leave my nems in the 29 since they like it there. I have a BTA and a GBTA--not near as cool as Serk's R/GBTA, but I'll get there. They're BTA, so they also like the PCs.

Anyone have a dedicated nem tank besides Serk? What do you do different for these tanks regarding supplementation, skimming, etc.? Thanks for the help.

Keep the PC lights. They are more than adequate for Bubble tips.

Feed the anemones. My preference is a blended coral type homemade food, but many anemone keepers feed chunks of silversides, krill etc. (nothing bigger than a 1/4 inch though)

Skim fairly aggressively since there will be uneaten food and waste from the anemones.

Change water regularly and there really is no need for any additional supplementation for an anemone only tank.

I have my SRBTAs in my 30 cube. I do not do anything special. I have a 150 watt HQI lamp, Seaclone skimmer and a MJ 900 for flow. Feed Formula 2 pellets daily and a cube of shrimp from time to time. I also change about 50% of the water every 2 weeks.
