Lots of questions about RBTA

[twist of lime]

I have lots of questions about RBTAs.
How much light do they need?
How much do I need to spot feed them? What do I feed them?
How many times do they split?
How big do they get?
Thanks

Well first thing is that they need a mature tank, usually 6-8 months is adequate. Is your tank done cycling yet? Did you buy an rbta already

I did not buy a RBTA already but I would like to get one.
My tank is done cycleing but it's only a month and a half old.
I know they need great water quality and all of my water test are perfect so couldn't I get one now?

I wouldn't think so, what lights are you currently running. Like I said earlier, anemones are recommended to very mature tanks, research it for a few more months(4-5) and then you and your tank should be ready

PATIENCE ----You need to slow down. Take your time and do some research on things before you buy. I know it's hard but rushing things in this hobby will only lead to a ton of problems that could of been avoided.
As Subie said, a month and a half old tank is not established enough for an anemone. Even if your water params are perfect the tank is just not established long enough.
Here is a great site on rbta's;
