Hello. Does anybody knows which anemone would be best for a 12 gal nano, to host a true perc.
Thank's

This site will tell you everything you need to know:

I'm assuming you'll have enough light in that nano to sustain an anemone?

The tank is 12 gal but there is a sump of 2 gal no light there so i really have 48 watts in 10 gal.
thanks for the great site.

I'm afraid that 4.8 watts per gallon of normal output (NO) light will not be enough to sustain an anemone....assuming I read your description properly?

well. i would agree with u but since my anemone has done great in 2 wats per gal lol...i can say anything anymore about wats...i got a rose in a 12 gal its been in there for 3-4 months so i mean im still gona move it to a 12 gal with 92 wats but if i wanted to i think i could keep it in the one its in now...but i think its always better to be safe than sorry.

Thanks tresguy. That should be plenty of light for the anemone

2 watts per gallon really isn't enough to sustain any anemone, except maybe aiptasia

It may be doing well now but, long term, this will not be enough to sustain it. *Anemones can take a long time to die so just because it looks ok now doesn't mean that it will remain so. *I'm glad to hear that you plan on moving though.
