So after my reef tank crash last year i have not set up a tank until now. Gearing away from corals and on the things i always wanted but didnt get due to my corals. I set up an aquapod (been established for a couple years just moved) and the first thing i threw in was an XL carpet anemone:wink:....

This thing has to be more than a foot in diameter. Am i nuts? Or have people been able to keep such a large anemone in such a small volume of water? The paramteres are always great even after a feeding. My question now is... can i add anything else? A small bubble tip? Or little play/zoa frags or sps? Right now in the tank is one fish, a chalice, and a bunch of xenia....

no problem keeping the nem in a small tank, the problem is having any fish with the carpet it wont eat in the small tank
 
True, i just want to fill it with clowns that i hope will host it.
But you think i could add a small bubble and some frags? The nem wont add to much ammonia?
 
I would not add another anemone to the tank. I tried putting a RBTA in my 55 reef with a sebae and the results were not good for the RBTA. There was warfare between the two anemones. The sebae threw nemocysts in the water that irritated the RBTA. The RBTA simply could not find a suitable happy place due to feeling threatened by the sebae. The RBTA eventually withered away to nothing. :(
 
That nem is a monster! Love it!
