180 gallon nem dominated reef tank

[cilyjr]

So I decided to go this route. Over the next few weeks I'll get things going. I am going to redo the overflow. In the past I have had a foam Rockwall cover for it but I think I'm going to use something like this..


I'll redo the rock islands I have as well. And possibly replace the sandbed.
I will likely keep all my fish but this is open to discussion.
I have a few rose bta and flower nems already so they will go in and I am keeping a few LPS coral and zoas but the majority of the tank will be nems.
I'd like to keep what I have and add gbta, haddoni. And perhaps a sebae. Anyone heard of compatibility issues?
Also what about the possibility of fish finding it difficult to hide in a nem tank?

I used to have a nem tank with 9 to 10 large anemone. All my fish in that tank became dinner including a flame angel, several tangs and chromis.
Only a mean claki clown left. I broke down the tank.

So it's basically all clowns then?

 

[cilyjr]

I've seen other damsels hanging around nems in the wild as well

I have seen domino damsel hosts anemone and I guess chromis just got eatten

Well this is good information. And I may rethink things.

 

[this is me]

I still like a tank full of RBTA and a school of clowns very much.
If you do keep mix species of anemones, make sure you run some carbon.

I know someone has a tank covered with various BTA and with tons of clownfish inside, various types and size.
A 180 gallon version will be stunning.

It's the Haddoni that's the most dangerous to the fish. I think ozone works better than carbon. At least that's what I've observed in my tank.

OK keep the info coming.
