The Unintentional Bubble Tip Anemone Tank

[@tidalgardens]

What do you guys think? Should I commit to an anemone theme tank complete with clownfish or should I find a new home for the anemones and go back to the original plan with Goniopora?

[@Tohei08]

commit and add a harem of clowns!!

[@firebirdude2]

Commit and add the clowns. While everyone does the whole "anemone/clown tank" thing, it's still awesome and fun to watch. Don't care that I've starred at a similar tank for hours, I'll still watch it. The relationship of clown to anemone is fascinating, and so is anemone behavior itself.

[@ajj_gamer]

nah goni garden tank > WAY BETTER - bye bye nems.

[@portwolf2293]

Although there nice, I'd go an alternative route and add a variety of sexy shrimp and porcelain crabs. Then add mini maxi and rock flower anemones on the bottom. But if you plan on keeping aggressive fish I won't argue with the clowns, it just feels stereo typical and you have to deal with them anytime you go to remove anemones or maintain the tank. Last time I had clowns though I hand fed them several times a day and had them tamed to the point they would swim into my hands and I could pick them up out of the water. But I doubt you would have that much time to work with them. That was pre y2k 👀

[@gabemihu7638]

Absolutely goni. Nem tanks you can see more often, the goni tank will complement perfectly the euphilia tank! As soon as I heard the initial intention, I thought "why would anyone give that up for an anemones tank?!".

[@bryce4085]

I definitely think going for an anemone system complete with a Clownfish harem would be awesome

[@rebeccaberaldi7714]

My clownfish completely ignore every single one of them😢

[@mzakri]

Clam tanks - various giant clams / abalones/oysters

[@Hwonderboy]

Go Goni. Like some of the crazy colors of Goni you featured in other videos that has glitters.

[@dylanneff]

I like both ideas, but the flowerpot tank mirroring your euphyllia tank sounds so fun!

[@jona.corkey8933]

I think you need a THIRD show tank with Goniopora.

[@jona.corkey8933]

Besides, CSB anemones split and you’ll have a great tank to grow them out and sell them.

[@bobotbizzi5938]

Yesssss !! Complete with clownfish Than ,, 👍

[@Mr_Tequila_Travels]

I vote in favor of Goni tank. You can do an anemone-specific tank in a much smaller tank, and there are more of those around, so it’s less impressive. Plus, you can frag gonis much easier so makes more business sense as well

[@alecthenice8115]

Any of these tanks will look like a bite sized LSD trip

[@hotmess3421]

100% Goniopora would be over the top!!! No guts no glory!!!!

[@dominicmora1556]

First off, really enjoy your videos and store. First time commenter. I like the idea of the dual LPS displays. Showing the difference between two very different yet similar corals. To piggy back off your idea, keep the anemone display. Put clowns in both tanks. let the difference be "LPS - anemone" instead of "LPS- LPS ". I love seeing large displays of anemones and clowns and it would be cool to see it with euphyllia along side.

[@jerrislittlereef4023]

I like the idea of keeping the anenome but include some colorful Rock Flower anenome, and Clown fish.

[@franklinmichael671]

A clownfish harem would be awesome

[@JakeDogg-RIP]

Gonis and Alvis 🥰🐶

[@aljan1aljan2]

My new fav tank in your warehouse

[@Kinnabari]

Might be biased because I hate anemones (except rock flower and cerianthus) but a tank full of different variations of goni and alveopora sounds interesting!

[@328reef4]

Love the Anemone tank. I myself prefer an all Softy tank. My 300 has 5 different types of Anemones. Please enjoy.

[@jaydub9509]

My vote would be gonis. You have some great varieties to highlight. Anemone tanks are striking initially, but less so in the long term. Suggest re-homing the nems to a smaller tank, and adding a bunch of juvenile clowns. I've had various species of clowns for the past 20 years (including currently) and never had any that were aggressive toward me, though a friend used to get attacked by the clowns in his frag tank. My clowns have always been surrounded by a wide variety of fish species, which may be an important difference.

[@rhondadunn4228]

Clown fish love anemones! I hope you add the clowns!

[@trevorvanzuydam8115]

amazing quality video work. love the music too

[@rebeccaberaldi7714]

I have a blue hippo tang who absolutely adores my fox face. They sleep together at night and they have to touch each other. It's really cute.

[@jonathanmartin3503]

Ask your team :P the ones who will actually put their hands in the tank hehe. Either types are amazing to watch but I think it should come down to the owner or the one who will take care of the tank to have the last word. Personally I don't mind having fish bite me when I expect it. I have a trigger in my own tank that I know will come for my hand (just expecting food, not aggression) but at work (reef shop) when I clean the tanks, an unexpected bite of a clownfish can cause a reflex to remove your hand and knock it on something else. I have a scar that reminds me of an event like this every day ;) Anyway my point is, you decide :P I will always enjoy your content anyway. Happy reefing everyone :)

[@jussless2834]

You have to go with a nice pair of mocha storm clown fish it will definitely set that aquarium off

[@enricojaun2880]

Anemone tank!... only bc im getting ready to set one up...

[@djosue_1125]

Even though you would make a killer nem tank. Go with the Goni tank!

[@artistic_spaz3724]

I think it's mandatory to have a pair of clowns lol

[@rebeccaberaldi7714]

I started with one BTA and it has split into 11 of them. I'm guessing it's because they are very healthy and happy! I did. Just find another anemone on the complete opposite end of my tank which actually looks like a different species and I have no idea how it got there because I have not added anything to my tank recently....

[@jasonrandall3979]

A clown herem I think always looks nice...and aggression is usually diffused with so many when u put ur hands in..in my exp

[@MrLittleman32]

Make it an Anenome tank with Clowns, awesome

[@zafishguy5166]

I don't know if anyone here has seen it but the 2,000 gallon anemone tank at Long Island Aquarium is amazing.

[@TilmanBaumann]

Those Orphek lights remind me to ask you, why the pivot to Radion for the whole rest of the setup?

[@ppsthlm]

How do you feel about the Orphek lighting? I was disappointed not to be have an option to control my Orphek LED Bar. You enjoy the fixtures? What hours do you run in this tank?

[@morgane.w.108]

I like the idea of a more grey-scale fish selection. Keeping the nems would be a good call.

[@teemer1282]

the aquascape is out of this world ...

[@pandelist]

How are you going to get rid of these anemones from your rock ??? I have the same problem with a tank foul of softies and anemones. Thanks in advance

[@jimlowe9917]

Anemone tank .A caper anemone would hopefully fill out the bottom of the tank while or green carpet

[@ArrickthaRed]

I would keep the nems and do a different type of clown. The other idea would to do an all rock anemone tank and see how crazy you can make it look with all the colors.

[@chrisr.8995]

Beccas clownfish are beautiful, are they wild caught?

[@tidalgardens]

Not sure, they were brought in by another employee. My guess is they are tank raised.

[@chrisr.8995]

@@tidalgardens update on this tank soon!

[@pelagicswimmer]

Why don't you try skunk clowns instead, much friendlier

[@dopeameanreef4437]

I think a heram of clowns would bring out the anemones

[@jamesvance9000]

Anemones for sure how about skunk clowns and anemone shrimp

[@alsfishbarn1589]

Do a Goni tank!

[@alishabinner5709]

Anemone tank!

[@BlackGoldReefing]

Clown Harem tank with long finned clowns

[@cutefish7317]

I vote for anemone theme tank complete with clownfish

[@garrycole9187]

Move the anemone to a smaller tank and get a harem from the same clutch of clowns.

[@Wonsycx]

Harem would be cool I definitely would like to see more harems on KZbin there’s kinda not that many 😢

[@garyjenson8262]

I used to love anemones and clowns. Then my last one cured me. She was a clarki and a ultra bubble tip. Then she got huge and the bubbles would divide at about the silver dollar size. Yeah I'm over that combo. Now bubble tips look like bubble algae to me.

[@TheKrisiscool99]

Use skunk clowns, they tend to not be as aggressive. Id recommend at least 15 if you want a harem

[@AbbasReef]

Goni tank would be much better

[@jamesludwig437]

Add the clown's!!

[@victorharris7411]

CLOWN FISH A NICE PAIR WITH THE TWO GUYS U HAVE ALREADY

[@jetskiwillywilly7970]

Foxface is the bomb diggity.

[@328reef4]

I prefer the Anemone tank.

[@aussied723]

Commit and try more peaceful clownfish like Seychelles or Madagascar if available 👍

[@gasprops]

Nem tank!

[@quokkaYT]

I mean, how can you not in an anemone tank?!

[@damienlim5757]

do a clown harem tank

[@UnorthodoxReef]

keep the nems and get a large group of bangaii cardinals to host them.

[@cesarmartinez3658]

clownfish Harem tank pleasseeee

[@michaeltartaglia2112]

Go with clownfish and anemone tank

[@ajj_gamer]

GONI TANK

[@RobBoryckiGolf]

Anemone tank

[@ashleyalcock9818]

Clowns and anemones . I don't think you tube has a video dedicated to this. Anemones are what got me started on a saltwater tank!

[@trevorhenry7339]

Don’t mix Nems, I learned the hard way and they definitely don’t interact peacefully. Having to redo a entire tank back of the chemical warfare it was causing.

[@zafishguy5166]

I think it has been done with certain species (such as carpet nems with similar carpet nems) but it seems iffy at best and usually it takes trial and error. Plus when your working with anything that cost over $10 I would try to avoid unnecessary trial and error. Not to mention working with the lives of animals... it would be best to give everything the best possible environment you can and try to avoid experimenting which can lead to problems. I mean I have experimented in the past but always been prepared to move stuff around. Obviously though you get it given your experience with redoing a tank.

[@trevorhenry7339]

@@zafishguy5166 yeah, I did Rose/Rainbow and it was working really well, then I came across some beautiful Sherman Nems and that is what did it. Just like in the video “slowly starting disappearing” I set up another tank to house the remainder of the rose and rainbows and redid my main tank and now just gonna focus on a single family of rose Nems and just hope for splitting to fill the tank. Lesson learned and a lesson I didn’t wanna have to learn unfortunately.

[@Syed5y]

Go for some clarkii clowns they wont bite and will host

[@suzannenonya3077]

clown harem tank

[@raulmedina6223]

It’s a nem tank of course go with the clowns

[@allmightygreat1892]

Clown fish and inverts

[@allmightygreat1892]

Your clown have nice color

[@stianandreassen3903]

Im sorry, but this is now a Clown fish and anemone tank, lol

[@northeastcorals]

I'd be very interested in an experiment to see if you could maintain an Anemone tank with a diverse range of colours.

[@burtminshew4812]

Anemonemenemone... With every color morph clown you can find. 50 of them.

[@teesky8456]

My fox face been eat by anemone carpet 🥲

[@erichanasky7884]

I would do a harem. In a tank that size it would be really awesome

[@adamhunter1223]

Maybe the clownfish will teach the other two a lesson.🤣

[@andrereyes4562]

Con gonioporas

[@jonjaroska2319]

anemone clowns all day

[@allmightygreat1892]

Fox face, toxic and very mean. Had same problem upon introduction.

[@erniewallace7687]

Keep the anemones. No clowns. Bertha (a large female ocellaris) got the boot and was given away after drawing more blood than the Red Belly Piranha I had as a teenager.

[@rodster44]

ditch the anemone's, you will get bored with it quick.
