So when setting up a nem tank, is there a certain way/suggested way to “stack” your live rock for nems?
 
Probably RBT’s - would like to maybe one day do LTA’s

will be a 30 gallon JBJ rimless cube
 
Each species of anemone requirement is different. The only similarity between them is that they will walk if the condition does not suit them
 
BTA needs low light and low current in comparison to some other anemones. LTA (M doreensis) requires a deep sand bed. Relatively low current
 
I will have an ocean revive t247-b light for the tank so I can adjust intensity pretty easy

If your nems are BTAs and they are in a mixed reef, I have found it helpful to put them on a pedestal somewhat close to an overflow. The pedestal tends to keep them up and away from the rest of my tank inhabitants (who don't appreciate being stung). The proximity near the overflow helps bring food right to the nems. I have found a new or two in the sump however.
 
Was going to do a dedicated nem tank only

They do the rest.
