Tips for a nem/clown only tank?

[reefwars]

cant see why not, they like the rocks anyways and their food comes from light and target feeding, ive never had one with a barebottom tank so its just speculations i could be way off lol you gettin a rose???

Yeah I think so. I tried a nem years ago in my first tank which was BB and failed. But trust me that was for many other reasons so I wanted to ask about the sand issue. I suppose a really light layer of it for looks may be ok too.

I'm not sure when I could add one tho. The tank I think is mature enough but here's the issue. All that rock that's been in it has frags mounted to it. It's all going to the new tank which is full of a few live pieces and mostly stuff that was stored damp so it's nasty. When the big tank is done cycling and i toss a few pieces from it into my Solana...I guess the Solana is a NEW tank again which means no nem. All I want in there is a nem and clowns so should I just run the tank empty for a month and then add my clowns? Then run that for a few months then a nem?
