i say do it, is it sumped?

Nah. The only thing it gets is a 2 gallon water change every week. I have a mp 10 and another small kollia nano on it.

id say bump up to 5 gallons and definitely possible, my tank is pretty damn clean since the beginning and I've had BTAs since a month in without any issues but I change 5 gallons a week and have an oversized skimmer haha and a fuge

should be no problem for the nem, blood shrimp may disappear. Just watch out for the powerhead. you can see the little korallia 1 that wasn't powerful enough to chop the nems up. Pic is from an old 12g aquapod, so I see no problem with a nem in a 12L

If you want a BTA cus you like how they look, then go for it. But if you want a BTA for your clowns, then be prepared that it's a 50/50 chance the clowns may not go near it. So having said that, make sure it's a really nice looking BTA, so that you may enjoy it's beauty regardless.

Thinking of going for one to balance out the tank and just cuz they look pretty. I'll move the Blood shrimp to the SPS tank. One of the clown is currently hosting my GSP. But they don't act like a couple so idk whats going on with them.

Hmm. Might have to move out the mp10 though. I"ll move the blood shrimp to the SPS tank.

As long as the tank is mature and you have good maintenance, then I don't see a problem with it.

 

I'd highly recommend getting a foam cover for the MP10 though.

I would remove the Korallia and keep the MP10 in there WITH a foam guard you should be good to go (change it every 3 days or so to clean it out)

What lighting do you have on the 12G Long?

So true, 5 month in with my nem, and the clowns still not interested in it...they love my Duncan.

 

Just recently one of them started sucking on the tentacles to build immunity but hasn't called her it's home...he just likes to play, then go hide in the Duncan....oh well
