Sorry to be the one to disagree... while the RSM has T5 lighting they are not HO nor are they individually reflected. Therefore they are no more intense than std PC's. Actually, PC's have more light output than T5's in general. But thats another subject...
While a bta may survive under these lights IMO/E its not the healthiest environment for it, the lighting is marginal (dispite what the animal looks like) and should it move to the lower half of your tank the situation may worsen.
Also if an anemone dies it most certainly will skunk your tank, esp an anemone of any size mixed with a tank this size. Not many things in your tank will eat it, they decay very very quickly and they have the same effect as a dead fish does. If the anemone was tiny say a 2" give or take then no the effects wouldnt be bad but 4+" anemone... it would be best to remove it asap if it dies.
The success with these animals should be measured in years not months or weeks... Again this is something that is on that grey line with lighting, I personally would not reccomend it although Im sure its done. I would be anxious to hear of success with one like the RSM and an anemone for 2+ yrs without it splitting. That would be considered success IMO.

Did a water test today:
Specific Gravity: 1.026
pH: 8.2
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Alk: 10
I think everything looks good!
I also picked up a pair a fire shrimp because it was buy one get one free so i went with 2. (my aggressive fish will probably eat them but oh well that's the life cycle)

both the yellow and tiger can both get 5inches.
hi fin red bandeds and yashias stay small 2-3inches.
I saw a pair of hi fin red bandeds AND candy stripe pistol on the den of divers for only 69.99.

How about a midas blenny? They pretty good with clownfish and gobies?
eh... the midas might get aggressive in that size tank. results will vary though. I know sixline wrasses in 10gallon tanks are worse than alot of damsels lol, but definitely not bad at all in a 75gallon.

Took some new pictures with my new 5lbs. of LR(30lbs. total). I also place another ph in the back right corner blowing current across the back glass. Hopefully i have the ph's placed in the right directions?
My temp. is 79 degress. (stays about the same)
I'm going to put a piece of uncooked shrimp in 2morrow and see if that helps my cycle out.
This is probably a stupid question but what is the white thing on the top corner inside your tank? I am very new to this and was just wondering if it's something I need.

I think your talking about the mag-float in my upper right corner. Thats for scrubbing off algae on the glass. Google them if you want.
