Custom Anemone Tank Build

custom - In the next setup, I'm going to use one pump and manifold.

kev2me - Thanks. I have not had time to go clown shopping, and the Sanjai's on Divers Den sold.

what do you guys think of adding rics to the tank?

nice tank what are your plans to fill the tank - will it all be all different anemones?

where did you get your rocks, what kind is it?

Looks great...Nems don't like mega flow...The Vortech might be a little gnarly for them..IMHO.. I have a Nem tank that is really doing well...Little flow...

Harry - Thanks :)

Hungriee - Yes, the plans for the tank are to fill it with anemones, 2 clownfish, and maybe 2 banggai cars

Reeferdood - Thanks. The vortech is turned way down, so there isn't much flow. I might go with 2 smaller ones instead. do you have pics of your tanks?

 

[Reeferdood]

I do, but want to take better ones before I post them here..

Thanks RD,

So I initially had the MP40W on the left side of the tank, in the center of the pane. The problem was that I couldn't turn it on very high, because it was pointed at the rock structure and would blast the anemones. A friend who came over had suggested moving it, and now it is on the right pane, almost against the back wall. What this did, was create circular flow in the tank. The flow is now around the rock structure. This has done a few great things.

1. it allowed me to turn the flow WAY up by comperison. Before, it was all the way down. Although, I don't really want HIGH flow, it's nice to get movement in the tank.
2. It moved the pump pretty much out of view.
3. The flow pattern discourages the nems from settling on the back of the rockscape, and brings them more to the front.

Here are some pics:

Thanks RD. it's coming along. I'm looking at adding an orange one, maybe this week.

Where there were 4, now there are 5. Just had one of the RBTA's split. Pictures to come tonight or tomorrow.

Sweet! I have a thing for nems.

I would add rics, but start with ones you wouldnt mind losing if your nems decided to sit in it.

:D
