Dear Nanophiles. Here is where I am currently at. Im working on my first Nano set up. I have kept and larger salt setups but nothing worth mention, Discus and Brackish setups so Im comfortable with difficult tanks. Currently I have 12 lbs of live rock, 1 Pink Tip Haitian Anemonie, 1 percula clown, 6 snails, 6 hermit crabs, living sand and my water was already good upon purchase. The tank is about 2 weeks old. I had a "red algae" infestation so thats when I purchased the crabs and snails and they have eliminated that problem. I am also aware thats its rare that my clown and haitain anemonie will develop a relationship. All my water tests show up fine. So, this is where I am at...
Does anyone have any suggestions of what else I can/should put in my tank? I am willing to get rid of the anemonie or clown if I have to, though I am always up for a challenge. I had thought about purchasing another anemonie that the clown would live in but that will make it almost impossible for me to have any feathers or coral :( . Im looking for some advice or input on what I could do that would be cool. Please and thanks!:thinking:

Yes, please remove the clown and anemones. The tank probably isnt mature enough yet for them. The red algae is a good sign, a sign that yer tank has cycled. A tank still goes through a cycle if you use good water becuz u put in live sand and rock. That will usually cause a cycle. I would wait another 2 weeks, cuz the tank might not be through its cycle yet. Also, it is pretty rare that the percula will host the anemone. They are actually more likely to host corals. So, dont force it upon yer clown, put in watever corals yer gonna have, and possibly a rose tip bubble anemone cuz those are the most successful with hosting.
