Nem Frag Tank Ideas/Discussion

[KingAlee]

I have other frag tanks set up for grow-outs and splitting up some of my frags. I have a ton of bubble tips, and I was wanting to set one up for them as well. How would you guys go about doing this? I don't want to place large rocks in there, as that could be a pain to get them off. Covering the bottom with "rubble" wouldn't be a bad idea, but what should I use for the rubble?

This all being said, I know different kinds of anemones can't be held together within the tank without at least dividers or boxes in it. I guess, all of this being said, does anyone have one set up? or have any ideas that could be used for this? I have a 3D printer and the know-how with acrylic to create things to be able to do this!

I would probably use small format eggcrate to keep them separated if that was a goal, something like this - you can use zipties or superglue to make "cages" https://amzn.to/4cDPCtD

I would also want to use PVC pipe sections instead of rock for ease of cleaning as well as removal of the nems if that is a consideration for sale/trade etc.

Yes, these will be for sale/trade, as I have so many in my main tank as is. When you say PVC section how are you saying to set this up?

you could crush regular rock up with a hammer and chisel, like marco rock or whatever, to get plenty of rubble. I would also second the egg-crate divider idea. Either that or that plastic craft mesh, but it won't flow as good and will plug up with algae really fast.
