first time sps

[cappindizzy]

Running a 30x30x24 gallon with 4x t5s 2x coral plus 2x blue plus with 2x reef brite blue leds I have had long term success with anemone's in this system 2 years plus could I make the plunge into sps ?

How long has the tank been up? Flow requirements will be a bit different, it sounds like you have enough lighting though. What do you have for flow?

You'll also need to hawk alk more, other than that I think you could try it, just start slow.

All you can do is give it a try. Stylo is a great one to start with and it looks awesome. It is also relatively cheap.
I think the main thing is making sure you can keep all your parameters stable. It took myself a full year before I finally started having success with sticks. But Stylo and digi are great pieces to start with.

Sure! But you will need to remove the nems.

I'm far from a expert but I think that lighting should work. A par meter always helps but not an option for everyone. I'm still new to sticks but have had good luck with garf bonzai, myagi tort and green slimer when I started. They're fairly hardy and not too expensive.

EDIT nems may or may not be a problem. It all depends if they stay put or move. It's a crap shoot when they are concerned. I've had them stay put for a year then for unknown reasons start wandering around the tank.
