I got a 16gal bow front today.:D It came with a 24" coralife 96watt lighting. I cant wait for it to cycle. Any suggestions on fish and coral I should include.:thinking:

A pair of perc clowns, a pair of cleaner shrimps, some hermits, some snails, and yup I agree, toadstool for hosting, and GSP for some bright coloring.

My tank is 18" tall, are my lights strong enough for toadstool? Also what types of toadstool are there to choose from?:notsure:

I just checked out the inverts and didnt see a toadstool. Is that code name for an anemone or is that coral?:notsure:

Sorry, for my stupidity I just found toadstool in the coral section. Hahaha! Looks cool. Is my tank to small for an anemone? I sure would like to get one of them too.

It's a soft coral and you should be alright with your lighting. Just keep your water paras stable then you should be alright.

Anyway...
Jdodd - If you really want an anemone IMO you'll need more light. There are many people here who would only get an anemone if they had MH lighting. Because the intensity is that much greater. A search on here of anemones and their lighting requirements should offer you a lot more info onthe subject.

it would be pretty hard to keep an anemne in the long run
paramaters need to be completely stable.....and in a tank that small that can be pretty dang hard top accomplish. plus there is a huge chance the anemone will roam and sting everything in its path

There are other kinds of anemones though. The bubble-tip anemones don't sting very much. I wouldn't put an anemone into a 16gallon.
