I'm looking to get a Rainbow bubble tip anemone. Am I ready?
Ammonia: 0 ppm
Calcium: 380 ppm
pH: 8.0
Alkalinity: 7 dKH
Phosphate: o ppm
Nitrate: o
Nitrite: 0

Thanks in advance
 
You calcium is a little low. I do not think that will be an issue. But you might want to bring it up. Is this a reef tank? Are you dosing?
 
Anemones are not as dependent on the big three Ca/Alk/Mag as corals.

More important is the age of the system, nitrate, phosphate and Sg values.
 
They like a establish environment, meaning steady parameters with little change. they also like places with not a lot of flow, and in my tank I am surprised my guy found a place. :)
 
Btas love good flow and strong lights. They will tend to hide from the lights the first week or so but will poke out and start reaching for it
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
