New Idea: Need Opinions

[FishGeek]

Ok. I have been doing some thinking and what I think I am going to do is this:
1) Get a 75G tank and move the 29G into it
2) Move my 12G into the 29G
3) Keep the 12G as a quarintine/hospital tank

My question is:
I want to have only live rock and anenomies and the Pair of Clowns in the 29G. I dont want an over abundance of rock. I want enough to make a cave and have a few stragler pieces. And I want alot of anenomies. (I am only going to use bubble anenomies cause I know that others will sting them.) How much rock should I go with, just 29lbs.?? Also home many anenomies can I have?? (I am imagining an anenomie bed! lol.)

well a 29 is pretty small, and BTA's require excellent water conditions, and really nice lighting so I assume you would have to upgrade your lighting. I guess, depending on the size you might be able to keep 2-3. I have a large GBTA and it would have to be by itself in a 29.

I have anenomies right now. I know their care. I also have already upgraded the light on my 29G for the corals that I have in there. I can only keep 2-3 in a 29G????

 

[aresgod]

yes. all depending on the size of course. A 29 gallon is fairly small.

How big is a 29 in inches. How big is a decent sized bta. Work it out ofr yourself. I think 3 is pretty generous

30X12X19 (LxWxH). BTAs can get up to 6 inches in diameter. If they touch they do not harm each other (but different anenomies will sting them.). I was wanting to make an anenomie bed. (Like a plant bed.) Is that not possible??? I was thinking like 5 or so. ??????

BTAs can get much bigger than 6in...try more like 12-15in at full size

 

[FishGeek]

That is not what I read. ?????

 

[FishGeek]

I was reading the wrong thing. Stupid me. Sorry. My fault. Their selling size (max.) is 6. But they get up to a foot. (Thats what it says.)

well my green BTA is easily 18" when fully expanded.
