Re: fresh vs. salt

If you want a clown host anemone then you need alot of light. If you just
want an anemone but not a clown host I have used condylactis(sp?)
anemones(atlantic) because they dont need high light levels. I keet 2 clowns
and a condylactis in a 10 gallon with a live sand bed and 10 lbs of live
rock,a penguin 170 biowheel filter, and a standard flourescent hood without
problems.The condylactis can eat the clown although I have never had that
problem as the clowns stay far away from it.Due to the fact that saltwater
caused me alot of problems and money on my 125 it is now freshwater oscar
tank but the 10 gallon is nice and easy to keep.
