Carpet Anemone & Clown Harem Tank

[terraincognita]

What would be the suggested minimal tank size for a 5-7 Clown Harem and 4-6 S. Haddon and S. Gig Nems?

I was thinking 75, but could a 60Long or something similar work if more shallow than high? i.e. could I get away with a smaller total system with more width? What would be the best width if so? 4Ft?

Anyone here have such a tank?

I’ve got a gig harem in a redsea reefer. I think the total water volume is 40 gallons.

+1 40 will do, onlything is can't have anything else, but I'm sure you don't plan on that anyways.

Very exciting, look forward to see this tank come to fruition. keep the community posted and make a build thread!

What type of clowns would you try? Clarkii and saddlebacks naturally live in Gigs, they are pretty cool anyways so it could be neat to do a biotope aquarium or something?

Oh really? I thought true percs were the majority of what hosted gigs. I believe the other species you mentioned are for haddoni.

Any size would work all depends on the size of them nems do know with that many nems you will have to upgrade as Haddoni will get 24” and gigs will get 36” if being kept how they should be :)
