I just ordered a sabae anemone from LA, and expect it to be here around tuesday. I have a 75g, 6-7 months old mixed reef with 2 percula clowns, 2 firefish, 1 YWG, 1 LM blenny, and 1 yellow wrasse (also ordered a lamarack female angel in the same order as the nem). tank lighting is 8 T5 bulbs (50/50 daylight/actinic) and I keep a mix of LPS, SPS, zoas, palys, mushrooms and some gorgs. feeding is mysis shrimp, and I have an octopus 200NW skimmer for skimmer.
I have 2 questions. the first, when should my lights go on and off? I am putting them on a timer tomorrow, and need to know the best times.
second question is where should I place the anemone? I would would clear that area of the tank so that there were little/ no corals there, which is easy since the corals are all attached to rubble, and the only corals attached to a large rock is the colony of zoas on the right side of the tank. here is a picture of the tank as it looks now (I snapped the lights on to take this quickly, so everything is closed up and fish are hiding)
