| I have a 20 gallon saltwater tank with live rock, a brittle star, two hermit crabs, and currently no fish. I was thinking about getting a bubble tip anemone and one tomato clownfish. I have a compact fluorescent light system that has 60 watts. I have a power filter and one powerhead. I do two water changes of 1.5 liters each week. The ammonia level is 0 ppm The nitrite level is 0 ppm The nitrate level is 0.5 ppm The PH is 8.4 The temperature is 82 degrees The specific gravity is 1.026 I was wondering if my tank was okay for the bubble tip anemone and the tomato clown. Thanks for the help.

That's still too young for an anemone IMO, especially given that it is such a small tank. Stability may be an issue. And personally, I think 30 gallons is the minimum for even a bubble tip, so perhaps you could look into rock or flower anemones instead...they are hardy and stay small. Its just that anemones have such a dismal survival rate in aquaria, and live basically forever in the wild. I think we should give them every chance of survival we can if we're going to keep them, and that includes a large, mature tank. If you haven't already, read Nep2Ns PlumR's thread on keeping anemones in the general saltwater section of the forum.
