Bubble tip anemone

[something'sfishy]

I'm planning ot have a bubble tip anemone in my 40 gal. tank..My question is if this is hardy. I don't have a protein skimmer just 10% water changes...some corals and inverts, tank has PC lighting upgrade...please help

I have no personal experience with the bubble tip, but from what I have heard, they are fairly hardy animals if given very good water conditions. I used to want one, but I had a hard time finding healthy, affordable bubble tips at my LFS. As for your filtration... I'd say you are probably ok. I have a few hard/soft corals and a couple of anemone (although no bubble tip) in my tank (see the url in my sig if you want specifics) and the only filtration/circulation I am running is off of an undergravel filter I pulled over from a 55gal tank and 2 power heads. That's all I've ever used and I've never had a problem with water quality.
Good luck.

I'll bet that when the sharks arive they will say PROTINE SKIMMER. This a major piece of the filtration system and with out it you will probably run into a water quatily crisis or have to increase the amount of water you change in you tank along with the frequency.
