How long before adding an Anemone?

[jvalentine]

Hi All,

Just wondering if there is a wait time before adding an Anemone to a freshly cycled tank? My cycle finished up about 2 1/2 weeks ago, and I've added a small amount of fish and coral. Everything is thriving and I wanted to add a RBTA for my DaVinci clowns, but I am unsure if the tank is safe for them yet?

Current Parameters:
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 10
Phosphate: 0.13
dKH: 8.4
Calcium: 470
Magnesium: 1500
pH: 8.2

Same question for Clams if anyone knows that as well?

In my honest opinion, 8 to 10 months on the early side, a year ideally. New tanks go through many parameter swings as it matures and anemones are sensitive to parameter swings. If you absolutely have to have an anemone I wouldn't add one until at least 4 or 5 months, but even that's pushing it.
