I really want to get an anemone but I know I am not ready yet.
Currently I have a 55 gallon mixed reef, 3 inch sand bed, 4 t5s. 29 Gallon sump with BioPellet reactor, huge skimmer DSB in half of that with cheato. (tank will be two years old in May)
parameters stay around,
N 20-30ppm
P 0
KH ~10
I think I would like a Carpet Anemone, I know that the BTA's like to be in weird places, and the Carpets seem to like to attach to rocks and stay there.
I also don't want something that will grow to fast.
This fall I intend to move to a 150 gallon, is it in my best interest to wait?
I was planning on putting live sand in there, adding DRY rock and cycling. Then I intend to put my live rock and my stock in there, so I think it should be fine.
So what I am asking I guess, what parameters should the tank be stable at before I get an anemone? Is it strongly advisable to wait until the new tank gets established? (I don't want to wait half a year more, but if I have to I will) Will the BioPellet reactor hurt the anemone? It is plumbed directly into the skimmer feed pump.
Is a carpet anemone a good idea? My clowns are currently hosting in my Duncan LPS, and it does not like them there...
