SRC Member vtec3100 Posted October 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hi, My tank setup: 3ft x 1.5ft x 1.5ft running on eheim canister filter, weipro 2013, 20+kg of LRs....... lighting use JKS 4x36w PL tubes, 2x 10000k white n 2x blue tubes. still in process of cycling tank..... after i have cycled the tank, can i keep corals/anemone with this kind of setup? will the lighting be sufficient for corals/ anemone? which type of coral can i keep? basically i dont know which corals looks like wat.... if possible can someone post pictures of those that may suit my tank? one last question.......what can i do to stop/minimise the movement of anemone? Is there any kind of anemone that dont run about? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Jun Hong Posted October 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2003 Regular feeding is also quite important to keep your anemone survive. BTW, tube Anemone doesn't run about. See mine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member CooL_anakin Posted October 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2003 Erm.. I'm sure it'll be able to support soft corals like mushrooms n Zoanthids. But i don't think anemones will be able to thrive in such conditions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Cleartank Posted October 16, 2003 SRC Member Share Posted October 16, 2003 IMHO. NO. IMNSHO, NO. (In My Not So Humble Opinion). Run a search on SRC and you will find that a lot of corals and most Anemone required more than normal lightings. You also need a chiller for MOST coral! Just my 2 cents! Maybe 5 cents? ir $20 worth?

Dispar_Anthias Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Hey anemone are not easy things to keep, suggest you learnt more first about them, before venturing into one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Achilles Tang Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 4 x 36watts PL... 1.5ft depth. Should be sufficient enough for anemones and most corals. Suggest you buy a coral book because by the time we post photos and everything.... it'll be a book already. Get Aquarium Corals by Borneman... look for our sponsor, Seaquest, he may have a good lobang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuEl Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 Carpet anemone is one of the hardiest IMO..but they will eat everything. Quote Always something more important than fish. http://reefbuilders.com/2012/03/08/sps-pico-reef/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
