    This is my reef tank I have had up and running for about 2.5 years now. It is a 29g bow front aquarium. I belive it to be healthy and stable but I wouldn't mind some suggestions or people's opinions.

    Thanks for your (hopefully postitive) critisism. :)

    - Joe.

    P.s Feel free to ask for any other information about the tank, I know i'm being very general.

    Looks very good to me. I really like the color of that carpet.

    One the bottom to the left there looks to be a type of anemone or large mushroom?

    Tank inhabitants;
    2 Clown Gobies
    1 'Young/small Yellow Tang'.
    1 Green Cleaner Wrasse
    1 Red Firefish
    Random assortment of coral, live rock, 'medium-large' substrate.
    - Including a pink-tipped-small-tenticled anenome.
    12-15 Hermit Crabs
    25-35 N. Snails.
    2-5 O. Snails.
    1-4 Cleaner Crabs.
    1 Cleaner Shrimp / 2 Peppermint Shrimp.
    Among a bunch of other things I see from day to day, mostly tag alongs.
    -Example, there is a long tentacles starfish thing, black and white that I see eating fish food that makes it to the bottom of the tank, not a clue what it is or where it came from. Doesn't hurt anything from what I can tell though, scavenger of some kind.

    All above a 14k Metal Halide pod lighting system.

    Is that anemone hard to keep? It is very, very pretty!

    I've had two anenomes and from what i've experienced they are very easy to keep. They are definitely resilient and eat anything. Also if you have clown fish to 'host' it, you're set. I have had a problem with them though. Unlike coral they move around on their own and stick/establish themselves in probably the most inconvient spot for you, but other than that, I think they are nice to look at and provide a safe haven for Nemo.
