[Fishes and Anemone]

From my experience your clownfishes will soon be wrestling for dominance even after you have upgraded to the 130l. Clownfishes don't school well and the most dominant (female) will soon be ruling the tank with its mate (2nd most dominant). Adding the anemone will encourage "roosting" behavior among the 5.

Having so many clownfishes will deter you from adding any more fishes unless you have a super-sized skimmer or willing do more maintenance.

Adding anemone is alright but do note:

1) Anemone are much more difficult to keep compared to fish only set-ups

2) Not all anemone will be readily accepted by the clownfish as its host

3) Anemone will move around stinging other denizens in order to find the best spot

4) Anemone may move and get pureed by your wave-maker or pump causing tank-crash

5) Anemone needs increased lighting

6) Anemone have lower tolerance to water parameters (temperature, nitrite, ammonia, pH etc) compared to fishes

If you are willing to accept the above and is willing to set aside more time and money into your set-up then you may want to consider Bubble Tip Anemone (Entacmea quadricolor) aka BTA. Although not the natural host for Ocellaris or Perculas, BTA is one of the few anemone requiring lesser efforts to upkeep.

Hope that helps.

For my 130L tank, I have a protein skimmer (Super sized), a cannister filter, a UV sterilizer, a chiller and some wave makers. Is that sufficient?

[Fishes and Anemone]

I have a school of clown fish (5 of them) and 1 yellow tail. I am going to transfer them from 30L tank to 130L tank soon after cycling the 130L tank. I am thinking of getting Anemone, do I need to get one for each clown fish, or can several clown fish home with one? Will the Anemone eat my yellow tail?

[Am I right doing this?]

Yep, I have about 5kg worth of live rocks. I just tested the tanks no ammonia level, nitrate nor nitrite. pH is about 8. Salinity is about 1.021. It has been cycling for the past 6 days and looks ok to me. Only the temp is quite high at 34 without chiller.

[Am I right doing this?]

In this case how long do I need to cycle the tank? The tank is second hand and I have thrown in some old filtration material from the smaller tank and most of the equipment are bought second hand. I also have some second hand live rocks in the 130L tank.

[Am I right doing this?]

My intention is to eventually move everything to the 130L tank, so the setup is only temporary for cycling purpose.

Hi all,

Appreciate your contribution and advises. Let me outline the background first.

I bought a marine tank on impulse a small 30L tank, my daughter wanted it. So from the start many fishes died. However, I got the whole thing stable after 5 months, with one fish surviving.

So I bought another tank, now it is a 130L tank (30 gallons). Now I am trying to cycle the 130L tank, which is a second hand tank that I have bought.

What I have done is to first ensure that the salt content is sufficient. Now, I have to make sure that the tank is sufficient low temperature to match my smaller tank.

What I have is a single Chiller, now I must chill both tanks. So my thought is to do so ... 130L tank, pump water (1300 L/hr flow rate) into filter canister (700 L/Hr flow rate), into UV Sterilizer, into Chiller (1/10 HP), into 30L tank. 30L tank pump (1200 L/hr flow rate) into big tank. My protein skimmers are running in both tanks. Appreciate if experienced people can advise.
