We were going to turn our fresh water 72 bowfront into a frag tank but have since decided to make it into a fowlr tank. My question is, can we have anemones with puffers and lion fish? Those are the only 2 fish that we are planning that we aren't sure about.

My neighbor has a dogface with about 6 rbta with no issues. I did see some posts out there about lion fish accidently perching on the nem and getting eaten, some suggestions were to get a Maroon clown that will keep the lion away from the nem or something like that.

I know rbta and sabae need high lights. Are there any anemones that don't require high amount of light that maroon clowns would still host? I'm trying to see if I need to upgrade my lights. Right now it only has 2 48" t5 that I was using for fresh water.

You are thinking in the wrong way.
You need to think, " What do I need to do to my system so I can have what I want?"
You want a anemone? Then save up for lighting that will sustain one, then get the anemone.

Sounds like right steps! Get big powerheads imo.
Do u have a coral tank or other tanks?
Before u kmow it, you'll want all reef safe fish and coral coral and more coral.

Yeah, we have a 90 gallon mixed reef with everything from zoas, softys, sps, and lps. Also a rbta with clown fish who lay eggs. We kept going back and forth on what we were going to do with the second tank. First we thought frag tank. Then fowlr. we kept going back and forth and I think we finally decided to do fowlr and get fish that we cant have in our other tank.
