Hey. I'm new to marine. My tanks been set up for 3 weeks now. Thought i'd join the forum and say hey!!

2 clown fish
1 purple anenome thing
2 hermits and
2 turbo's

Set up

T5 lights white and blue
Fluval 2 internal filter for mechanical
3-4kg of live rock for filtration
fluval 304 without media for circulation 1000l/hour
1inch of live sand

Does this set up sound ok? Anyone recomend anything?

Looks great man

Can you be more specific on "purple anemone thing" and "hermit crabs"?

tank looks great, I like the LR set up!

Wow, looks like a tube anemone, first one I've seeen on these boards. You're gonna have to feed it directly as they're non-photosynthetic (dont need light). Get a turkey baster and squirt some frozen foods at it gently at least 2-3 times a week

It may just be a feather duster.

would help if you had a better picture of it

Hey. I've been feeding it dry shrimps and also some frozen brine shrimps. He seems to catch alot of them when i'm feeding my clowns so i havent had to directly feed him apart from a few dry shrimps.

Do i need some more live rock for filtration so i can take the mech internal filter out?

Edit: its deff not a feather duster.

Looks good mate

Just make sure that LR at the top stays fully submerged when you do a water change

One of the first things I've wanted when I began fishkeeping were beadlet anemones. Think the little guys are actually temperate anemones though.
