 To Reef Central looks like a nice tank but alot of stuff already in it. anemones would be best off with a tank that has been setup at least 8-12 months. they are delicate inverts. |

Way too early for livestock especially any anemone. Goniopora (flowerpot) are not good beginner corals. Try slowing down a bit and doing more reading. It will save you money and will also be better for your animals.

I hope the fish live for you, because I'm willing to bet that your tank hasn't even cycled. Also, it looks like you could use some more live rock in your tank for natural filtration. You probably should listen to your boss. I'm not trying to be rude, I would just hate for you to have a negative first experience in the hobby. Best of luck

I haven't decided if I'm buying this thread yet.
