You put a clown and an anemone in a 3 gallon and posted to let people know this? I'd hope you would reconsider.

Clown, big deal, it's the Anemone that's a concern. I thought they needed more light than PC. It looks really cool, I like the tank, but maybe try some Waving Hand for the Clown instead? The Featherduster looks really impressive in a small tank, Zoanthids do really well under PC's, you should try them.

Uh - They do. Lots more. I could understand if it was MAYBE a 27w PC inches away from the top, but even then.

I really hope this is just a temp situation, I sometimes feel guilty having anemones under 150w MH in a 44g tank.

As another alternative, what about a torch or similar anemone like coral for the tank? Or maybe this is just a temp situation and you'll be moving those to an appropriate tank within a few days, right?

nice tank m'man

Its okay to keep a fish like that in a smaller tank for a while I beleeve,no biggie.But you MUST do your waterchanges regularly!!! its alot of bioload! I knew a guy who had 3 damsels in a 3g and they where fine.But just keep it in mind that you will need to move them when the time comes.

I heard somwhere that BTA's dont need any light,I think I heard that on TGVAS but I cant remember.I could be thinking of the wrong anem.

man thats a nice worm,where did you get it?It musta cost a fortune!SW stuff is expencive in victoria haha

The clown may live fine , but I'am sure he does not like being in a 3g. That is a little extreme.I would take half of the sand out to.

hey, thanks for the replies, this is my first nano tank and I am moving soon and will be upgrading to a 33 gallon tank. The anemone is doing really good and eats twice a week. This is a temp system, but I was told that I could keep all of these things from where I bought the set up. The feather duster was bought in Nanaimo for only $20 but has done really well, it is the biggest worn I have ever seen.
thanks

holy crap - didn't see the FD first time around, that thing IS huge. I'd be afraid to put my finger in the tank, it's like tremors except wet!

I don't think asking who told you those'd be okay in there would be fair, since they'd be hunted like they were Ogres, but unless they added on "for about 2 weeks" I think wrong would be the best answer

Good to hear about he larger setup, go with T5 HO, or Metal Halide lighting, and you won't be as limited with Livestock choices.

Nice looking nano pimentel.

EDIT:
FWIW, If things are going well I'd keep it just like it is no matter what anyone else say's.
