Great! thanks everyone for their responses. Its nice to ahve confirmation on things.
The filter is on more for extra flow than anything else. All I am running in it is floss to catch the big floaties.
Its amazing to find out that I can keep everything I want in my tank, with a bit of research into specific species. I'm so used to finding out that a certain critter is an absolute no-go compatibility or size-wise.

Do anemones/corals count towards the bioload of the tank like fish do? In a 40g I'm expecting to be able to keep 4-6 fish depending on size (excluding hermits/shrimp) - do corals detract from that?
