Took roughly a year to get everything up and running, but I'm finally happy to say my original dream tank build is complete. Big shout out to the Las Vegas Reefing community for helping me track down all the Rose Bubble Anemones, our community is getting bigger and bigger and it's amazing! Thank you to some of our local group members for hooking me up on the great deals, and a huge thank you to Sonny Brunk over @ Aquatic Treasures (www.AQTreasures.com) for helping me get my 40 Black Ice Clownfish and helping complete the rest of my tank build, working together is what the reefing community is all about. I'll have updates posted from time to time, so check back here or on my Reef2Reef thread. Thank you for watching! Tank Specs: 210G Aqueon Dual Overflow 55G Refugium Lighting: 3x 24" Reefbreeder Photons 2x 36" T5HO ATI Blue Plus Supplimentals Other Equipment: DCT Jebao 6000 Pump Curve 9 Protein Skimmer BRS Dual Reactors 800W Titanium Heater Reactor Running CDX for skimmer Eheim auto feeder Fish: 40 Black Ice Clownfish 1 Grumpy Starry Blenny Anemones: 25 Rose Bubbles and Quadri Color Bubble tips. Using a lot of macro algae in this build to help with nutrient export, along with heavy skimming and carbon. The fish are feed 4 times a day through an auto feeder in the return. The tank also goes through a nightly micro bubble scrubbing to remove excess waste, and to help stabilize PH. Lighting intensity is 90/70 at 7 hour peak with 2 hour ramp up and down. Digitata gardens are fed twice a week at night with Reefroids and Red Sea Amino Acids. Sand bed is vacuumed every month in quarter sections at a time.

-you must feed 2-3 times a day, small increments, or the fish will fight.
-you need a way to isolate new anemones you add to the tank, or the clowns beat the heck out of it trying to host. I used a square grid if mesh.
-your rocks CANT be touching the glass or back if tank, or the nems all end up migrating to 1 area.
-tank must be established. I recommend people running a tank for 6 months no nems, add nems then wait another 6 months before you add fish. Don't try to keep nems and corals, focus on getting beautiful nems.

I have a thread on Reef2Reef, and our Facebook group, it's open to everyone. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Reefvegas/ & http://www.reef2reef.com/threads/210-clownfish-harem-build.215848/
Although I'm hoping they realize Im no threat by that time.

guess they are tank raised, hence the risk of parasites are very dim.
