What cube size tank for a carpet anenome ?

[Saltwaterwill]

Hey everyone I've been thinking of setting up a carpet anemone tank with a pair of clowns only, (specifically to house a haddoni carpet which I read can grow up to 20 inches or so) Are there any carpet anenome owners out there with success on specific tank sizes and in general? I'm thinking of at least a 50 cube (24 x 24 x 20) any inputs on a carpets would be greatly appreciated

Most true carpets grow over 24" in Diameter, so the space in a 50 gallon cube wouldnt allow for favorable conditions with a carpet. i have a 60 gallon cube and wouldn't risk either carpets or Ritteri Anemones.
minimum cube i would go is 74 gallon deep blue you get 30" in width
best of luck

What else, if anything will be in the tank?

Many years ago I had an 33 cube that held a pair of clowns and one of my S. haddonis. Want to say it was set up for about 2 years (( the S. haddoni that I had in there was in there for about a year -- had had it for ~8 years prior, and another ~2 years after )), and didn't have any issues. Though, with that small of a tank, I did have to stay on top of the water changes -- a large S. haddoni puts out a shocking large amount of waste.

(( the smaller S. haddoni was only in there for a couple of weeks, was moving things around in my other tanks ))

Thanks guys...I'm having a crazy vision of setting up two 50 cubes tied into one sump, so this will have a total of at least 130 gals I would say. One of these cubes I'm hoping to make it so that it would house one haddoni carpet with a pair of clowns only...the other it's a secret
