Keep up with ur WC's, WEEKLY! waterquality as you know, its quickly comprimised in such a small space, I would advise that u get at AquaClear Fuge going

I have a AP 12 HQI BTA only going, and the Fuge with Chaeto, and 2.5g weekly WC's keeps my water perfect.

I wouldn't keep a BTA if you don't have the MH lighting though, the PC's just don't put out enough light. Use a Frogspawn, torch or hammer as a serrogate host.

Beautiful clowns!

How long has the tank been set up for? Anenomes really do need mature and stable setups. They can be very finicky creatures.

Also keep in mind that in good conditions they will grow quite fast also, and tend to move about a bit.

you should be fine, just keep the anemone away from those powerheads, and keep in mind the growth rate, I don't have any supplemental flow in mine, and my BTA's are doing really well, I have removed 2 because of size, but the others split and do really well
