So, this is my first time at a reef forum! I would like to see you guys toughts about my ideas for my tank!!
My tank had a really rough phase this year.. but after that my water now is pretty much ready a for my project! I always wanted an anemone-only tank so after that rough time it was the perfect time to go for it!! My plans are a full BTAs tank with a single clownfish, right now i have one mid sized anemone and two tiny lethargic anemones that my LFS gave me, those 3 BTAs are all Rose variation. They are doing pretty well with my water quality, good light and feeding routine! The lethargic ones are getting fed 2-3 times per week with small quantity (also the pellets are pretty small, i think it is arround 5 milimeters lol). And the mid sized one was also lethargic few months ago and now its doing really great! Right now i'm feeding it 4-5 times per week with a little more quantity and that anemone is getting host by a wild Tomato clownfish, so as i said before i'm going for a full BTA tank but i'm also getting a sand cleaner starfish later this year!
About the tank size it is a nano tank, 40x40x40 cm (64 liters) but it has less than that i would say arround 50 liters and i set it arround 11 months i think?.. Along with the Tomato and his anemones, i have 2 pepermit shrimp, a serpent sea star and a few hermits to eat the leftover food.
The tank is pretty stable with almost no consumption, i'm doing 10 litre water change every 15 days just to lower my nitrates (aiming for <10).
The only parameters i do need to worry are at:
Salinity: 1.024
KH: 9
NO3: arround 15
PO4: >0.25
I test them before and few days after the water change, i'm probably getting a large Rainbow BTA at the end of July!
I will post some pics of my largest BTA and my Clownfish from this week and last week and also a pic of my 4 year old hermit crab!
I would love to know you guys toughts about this project!!!

Hello and welcome!
i’m not sure that .25 is such a terrible number. I’d be weary going over that but if your rock work looks ok algae wise, just keep any eye. same with nitrate. the salinity you may want to get to .25 or .26 but it’s a matter of preference. KH of 9 is perfect as long as you keep it there.
