Poor snails.
Definitely, but placement may be more limited for some things. Maybe not though as your tank is so shallow.

You will have the canopy which is nice. I think I would do an MH diagonal the long way. It is a corner tank and you have to think of it perpendicular to the focal view. Just like a rectangular tank against a flat wall.
Height for me would be the challenge. I had a single pendant 18” (maybe a little higher) over a 4’ tank about 100 years ago and that was it. Corals grew everywhere. The anemones only ever moved if it was time to change the bulbs. The H. magnifica stayed dead center (the LTA stayed a little to the left to avoid him I think).
I think you should definitely consider the placement of the MH while you consider the placement of your anemones.

I specifically got that rock for the nem. I wanted to be able to move him easily if I needed to. I'm planning on putting him in the middle with possibly a break in structure in case it splits.

Yes, there are two of them and there will be RFG nozzles attached to each. My returns will run through them, attached to two separate pumps, for redundancy (I previously had a pump go down while I was away from home).

I'm considering doing an AIO tank that has been modified to conceal a power head so the anemone can't get sucked up into it for a clown/anemone tank for the store.
I want a pair or several storms.

I would say a Magnifica could fit in my JBJ 45 Flat Panel with ocellaris if they were the only major inhabitants. Similar to the IM 40 if you wanted a specific brand.

One of our Louisiana Reef Club members did this with an 89 gallon Planet aquarium (48x24x18) and it really came out nice.

Yes. I have a line on a few storms if I want them. Just need the anemone. But that's getting ahead of the plan.
I have my eye on a fijicube.com AIO. Happen to have a good relationship with a rep for them.
Do you happen to have a pic?

There is a link to the whole thread in my previous post.Yes. I have a line on a few storms if I want them. Just need the anemone. But that's getting ahead of the plan.
