My tank is cool and good to go, acclimated a clown Monday and a gramma Thursday... here's my question... I know you don't have to have an anemone for a clown, but my wife wanted the dumb thing, so why not get something I like.... enough background, I have a dual PC with 65w 14,000k and 65w Actinic... will the anemone be cool with that? its a 15 gal tall.... I would like to keep the "ball of snot" alive!
and second, will frogspawn do well?
Thanks!

What kind of anemone is it? Different types have different lighting needs. Also, they should only be put into very established tanks.

Frogspawn will be fine, but be aware that the anemone may sting him. I would not keep any anemone with corals, but some do successfully. If they would just stay still! I wouldn't recommend any anemone in less than MH, I've just never heard of anyone having success with anything less.

my LFS is running a 7 gal nano set up as a test and have a 9w pc on it and a long tentacled anem... it's been there for about a year and a half behind some displays (They actually forgot about it for a couple months after their store move) Everythings cool and the anem actually got bigger... they took the "just leave it alone" method to the extreme and it's seemingly paid off as an experiment :thinking:

Here is my condy (they require less light than most, but your clown is not very likely to host it) under 130watt 50/50 PC in a 29 ga. Have had him for almost a year and he has tripled in size (getting to big for the tank!!!) And my frogspawn which my clown hosts

My boss has a 55 gal in our office, and he has a long tenicle anomne under a 2x65 watt pc and a flouresent blue light. It is bigger than any i have ever seen it has split 3 times in the past year. he does a 10% water change every 2 weeks and that is it. He also has purple mushrooms in there that started out with like 5 or 6 and now the whole tank it covered in them litterally hundreds of them.

My condy is doing well under CF too. My clown hasn't taken to either the frogspawn nor the condy. I didn't expect him to with the condy form what I read.
My neighbor has a bubble tip anemone under CF and it does very well. It has split twice and he won't give me a piece :mad:
I won't complain since he has given me a 6 stalk frogspawn, xenia and 8 or so purple mushrooms. I did give him some hermit crabs. Good trade

Well last week several members on this forum told me that 130 watts of PC in a 29 gallon would be fine for a BTA. So I got one after taking all the advice. Hopefully it is ok

My neighbor's is some sort of BTA. Here's a pic he sent awhile back.

The BTA is hard to see but one piece is at the top far left and one of the splits is at the bottom left.
