will this work?!

[lm]

I have a 75 FO(yellow tailed damsel,tomato clown,coral beauty,yellow tang,atlantic blue angel,mandarine, chocolate chip and a clean up crew)with a wet/dry filter system and a protein skimmer set up in the sump,1/2 cc,lighting is 40 watt aqua ray(white bulb),40 watt marine glo(blue actinic)and 2 55 watt HO bulbs, my last 3 water tests(done every couples)SG-1.022, ammonia-0,nitrites-0,nitrates-0,PH-8.2 and KH-7. My question is will this work?,can I add more fish?,can I put in anemones?,is lighting adequate? I have had very good luck in the past 6 months(tank up 1 year),but I would like some advice from you fellow enthusiasts before my luck changes. TIA

i would't add any more fish,sounds like you've got a full house already.but thats just my personal opinion. i think others would agree.

IME
yep, definitely agree, full house plus some change (extra)
these fish will eventually exceed the limits of your tank by along shot
IMO
as for anemones, i always advise against them, except for the extreme veteran, who wants a challenge, then i just say GOOD LUCK(sincerely) and hope for the best
NOT sure on the lighting, but for anemones, you may want more
HTH and good luck

I sure hope you have a skimmer with all those fish I wouldn't get a anemone even if I had enough lights, which you don't. They have such a short life in a tank, it is just not worth it for you or the animal.
Have any pics? It sounds like you have a nice mixture of fish, although a bit much.

Thanks for the comments and advice, but can anybody help me out about my lighting? If it is correct and if not what would you guys recomend.

post a new topic, title it HELP DAD, he may look, and give some advice, as i understand it, he has been successful wiht anemones, had one make it for over a year, i believe

im not ne kind of expert(im only 15) and ive been keepin a long tenticle anemone and a condy anomone for over a year now and there doin great the long tenticle has doubled its size,i still havent changed my opinion on keepin anemones i dont think there that hard to keep all you need is good lightin good supplements and feed brine shrimp gumdrops or somethin every oncec and a hwile and youll do fine

Joe5_15: I agree with you. IMO, Anenomes are not that hard to keep. AT ALL. I have had much better luck with them than I have had with any angel. (just for example) I know they are not the same, but thats not the point. On my 150 fowlr, I have successfully kept anenomes for over a year. And here's the catch.....drum roll..... I have nothing but flo lights. No VHO's, no MH, no nothing. Just 2 actinic blues (36") and 2 whites(36").

 

[joe5_15]

i just have flo lights too and my anemone is at the bottom almost of my 55 and is still doin just fine but the condy is in my 10 g, my grandpa will come over and he will call them aliens and stuff and they are like aliens with the tenticles and how they can chage their shape so much

joe5_15, you said that you have a condi anemone in a 10 gal tank? What is your lighting? Just a regular fluorescent light? How many watts is it? Thanks.
