6.8 gallon imagitarium reef

[Galasss]

Hello everyone! I wish I had started this thread when I first set this tank up but better late then never! I initially had this tank running as a freshwater tank with guppy fry, I really never wanted it (lol). I felt bad for leaving the fry to die in my 40 gallon breeder with all my other fish so I decided to save them and put them here; I eventually gave all the guppies away and made this a saltwater tank. Tank is nearly 9 months old and was been quite stable for about 5 months now.
Equipment:
Tank: 6.8 gallon imagitarium
Lighting: Hipagero aquaknight
Pump: hydor 300gph
Filtration: just run carbon and filter floss
Fish: 2 juvenile clowns
Coral: GSP, pulsing Xenia, toadstool leather (2x but different), some type of zoas, Kenya tree, mushrooms, Duncans, 2x BTA
inverts: x2 blue leg hermit crabs, x4 turbo snails.

Only have videos at the moment but I’ll take a well centered picture later.

Thanks! It’s a rose bubble tip anemone, I don’t think it fits the criteria for being a rainbow

Very nice, do you do 100% water changes? And how often?

Thanks! I’ve never done 100% water changes, I only change 1 gallon every 2 weeks

Even more impressive. Sometimes minimal and simple is best.

Thanks again mate, I agree. I also don’t over feed and only have the 2 baby clowns so I’m sure that plays a role.

Rose's are only pink, you have a rainbow you can tell by the green in the middle! Hit you with a like and sub, good luck!

Thank you! I never fully understood if it was a rainbow or rose. I’ve had people tell me both, many saying it was just colorful rose (but isn’t that rainbow? Hahah), I remember reading a post where someone was saying how they had to have purple as well in order to classify as rainbow

Yeah can get confusing there are 4 species that I know of Rainbow, Rose, Green, and Black Widow. If you get different ones don't put them next to each other, even though they are all BTA's they will kill each other.

Are you doing 100% WC’s? Please say no, that’s like starting over every time.

Never! The usually do 1 gallon every 2 weeks; the most I’ve done is 2 gallon WC.
