ritteri anemone

Question
i know that these anemones are only supposed to be in the largest aquariums but i have had one in my 15 gallon nano cube for 6 years now. sure it does take up the whold tank along with the three percula clownfish in there but it is as healthy as can be even tho many people argue it is almost impossible to care for. well i have ust gotten a new 16 gallon biocube and filled it halfway up with completely cycled water from my larger reef tank and then filled the rest with fresh salt water i just mixed. i have a small dansel in there and it has been cycling about a month now and i was wondering if that should be enough ttime to put another ritteri anemone in this tank?

Answer
Hi Mike,

Regarding "wondering if that should be enough ttime to put another ritteri anemone in this tank?"

I'd have to say yes. However I would test all water parameters with testing equipment first. I'm sure you are very familiar with most aquarium test kits and equipment, however just in case, here is a link from our website with them. http://www.ocreef.com/aquarium_test_kits
