Thanks tor the encouragement.
My tanks is "classic" 80x35x41cm.
Funnilly enough there is already a plan where to put 1000l tank if(when?) We really get hooked.

Plan was to keep 2x clowns, 1x bule yellow tail damsel, 1x mandarin and 1x 6line wrasse... Now rethinking it.

My signature does not show, my build thread: Thread 'My first 125l (33g) nano reef - 80x35x41cm (31.5x14x16")' https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/my-first-125l-33g-nano-reef-80x35x41cm-31-5x14x16.945069/
Keeping a mandarin and a 6 line is probably not a good idea. Both eat copepods and the tank probably can't sustain both. 6 line are also know to be aggressive

Good point, 6 line was picked for utilitarian purposes, it's out.

What's the deal with "GSP is the devil..."?

Magnificas, Mertensi, giant carpets - these anemones are hard. I don't know where people get the idea that common red or green BTAs are high needs or require a significant amount of expertise to keep.

We used to farm BTAs under shop lights. They're no more difficult than mushrooms.

GSP is pretty, dynamic, and easy but it tends to spread to overtake an entire tank. If you do go for it, some folks recommend a piece of rock that you can isolate out in the sand bed to minimize how much it can spread.
