How much invertebrates can a 2FT tank holds?

[Kaf]

Am wondering how much invertebrates can a 2 FT tank hold?

Will bio-overload happen easily, even if I have only about 4 fishes?

Currently my my 2Ft tank house a maroon crown and 3 yellow belly damsel,

12Kg of LR, an anemone and a flower like soft bright orange coral that I need help IDing.

Here is the pic of the coral but it's not very clear. Took it with my HP.

i think tht coral is a tree coral. its supposed to be erect, not slopping around. do u feed it?

[blueheaven]

thats a cauliflower coral and is considered a VERY difficult species to keep in captivity because it relies on high amounts of plankton to thrive.

Ya I found out that's a cauliflower, from my obeservation it prefer moderate to high current, needs light, produce and had to be spray with saltwater to get rid of the mucus they excrete during transportion before introducing to the tank.

It will bloom very nicely at times and at times it just look sloppy.

Now my anemone moved itself just beside the cauliflower, wondering will it be alright for them to be so near since the cauliflower is consider an aggresssive type.

Anyone with experience on them?

Hi Kaf, the lighting system u used is T5 rt?? May I know where u purchased it and cost? Do u know if they sell 3 ft T5 systems? I m thinking of getting 1.... Pls PM me.. thks.

Mine is a Dymax T5, actually there's alot of debates about whether it's really T5 due to the voltage but I think it's sufficient for my 2FT.

Do a search on the forum for T5 there's a few other brands.

I got mine for $40 and ya they have 3FT. The blue is not actual acntinic blue though, if I'm not wrong it's zoomed. I'm still quite new to all this myself actually.

I'll PM you the LFS details but it's your call where you want to get it.

Cheers
