What everyone is saying is correct. If one of those anemones die you are going to loss alot of your live stock. In such a small system i would only reccomend BTA's for that tank. Also never trust a bottle of mix. 99% of the stuff out there is just to make a newbie think they are achieveing something fast. Purple up for instance since it was refered to here. Its just concentrated calcium. If you proply dose calcium your not going to have any issues with coraline growth. I think purple up is a horriable product since it has the potential to cause calcium spikes, but so can over dosing. I used to work at a fish store and had many loyal FW customers who would speak to myself or a friend due to experience and we would tell they truthfully that most of our products were bullsh!t. The only line of products out there that i will put in my tank is tailored aquatic's, for one its canadian, and it works great. but back to the subject at hand. To the newly trained eye "cycle in 2 days" this seems awesome. 90% of people who first get into the hobby don't want to wait for a cycle so here is their loop hole so they can say, yes my tank has cycled. Double check all your parameters. I think some of the sadest stories you hear in this hobby is about crash's. Which I for one would never dream to hope that someone would go through.

The one thing i have learned about this hobby is that nothing comes fast to achieve the best results. Remember we are here to help you and each other on this forum.
