Clownfish/Anemone Tank: 01-26-2012

nice collection you've got there.

this is freaken awesome!! i wanna change my reef now ><

Thank you. I know I got lucky with a few of them being available. I know some of the BTA's are a little bit harder to find so I know I'm fortunate to have them.

check out some vids on YouTube.. search for MarvinsReef.

Bad ass reef man. Love it!

@hawkgonereefin: Thank you. I've been in the hobby for a while and was getting bored with the "normal" reef and I've always wanted to try out a clownfish/anemone tank. I'm glad I did the switch as this has sparked the reefer in me again.

Do the clowns swim between anemones or do they mainly stay in the one they've chosen to host in?

your videos on youtube are private.

Im guessing when u mix bta of dif color they do not pose any threat toward one another...?

Don't believe him folks..... He's just a nooobeeee!!

Is that a 40 breeder?

@gambl0r: only one have established BTA and it's one where no other BTA's are present in the back left corner of the tank. there's a group of about 6-8 Picasso's that host the two BTA's on the pots. another 3-4 hosts the BTA rock that has about 7 BTA's. 1-2 stay around the torches. another 1-2 hang out at the left BTA rock that has 3 BTA's. so really, there's no one that's established with just one nem. when it's night time, I see as many as 8 Picasso's on the big Sunburst inside the pot. some for some reason still do not find the BTA's at night so they end up sleeping near the water line, instead of a comfy nem.

@awpong: they shouldn't be. dunno...

@lawnmowerblenny: I've never heard of it being an issue. some of the BTA's on the BTA rock on the right side of the tank touch each other.

@basser1: is tonight give MarvinsReef a hard time night? LoL. Thanks buddy.

@metro6775: 110g (48" x 24" x 22")

You are a real contrast killer... I love these photos.

never kept nems, why the flower pots?

@Bishop: dunno what the first statement is but thanks for the 2nd.

@josh4107: it's an attempt to keep the BTA's from moving anywhere else, hence being visible to me all the time. if I had them attach to the LR, there's a good chance they'll find a spot in the back of the tank where I can't see them. LoL
