Hey guys, so I'm planning on getting a clown and anemone. any suggestions on whats good, bad, ugly lol. Right now I have a 30g with skimmer, metal halide, and a power head...thanks

how long has your tank been running? BTA's are the hardiest to keep.

its been up for about 4 months now

give it at least 2 more months before you get one... here's a compatibility chart for nems

thanks dude! what about the clown? should i wait on that too?

nope.. you can get that at any time... you could keep an eye out for one that is already hosting. Mine took about 15 seconds to find the nem.. buddies ever since.

granted it's a small tank, but my ocellaris wanted nothin to do with it

I recommend a red bubble tip (E. quadricolor) and common clownfish, Ocellaris. Both could be obtained tank raised and both are super hardy as far as light, flow and other parameters.

Hope this helps.
