New Anemone Tank

[abecker]

I'm looking at starting a tank which will be primarily anemone's and clownfish. I'm thinking about going with the Waterbox 100.3 reef tank. Would this be large enough for a Gig or Ritteri? Also, with anemones I'm thinking about going with 2 Kessil 360x's for lighting. Is there anything better which would be recommended? Lastly, is there any benefit to using a "reef salt" for anemones?

If it’s a nem tank without the worry of it stinging corals, yes that’s plenty big.

As far as salt, I personally use Fritz and do not dose and my nem has split 4 times.

That tank should be fine for either a gig or a mag. Just note that both nems can get really big, especially if fed regularly, and could possibly outgrow the tank.

Kessils are great for nems, and two 360x is perfect.

My gigantea tank tends to run a bit dirty, and I see them perk up when I do water changes. I don’t think they require any elements other than what’s in normal salt water. In other words, no need for a special salt, but the higher end salts tend to mix cleaner.
