You cant keep an Anemone in a 23 litre tank.

whenever i do a small water change i scrub the inside witha fabricated algae brush, i know i thought the samething but i have heard and seen pictures of anenomes housed in a fluval edge. It looks amazing! and i wanted to try it for myself

We have an edge here, we've had it about a year now.

It houses a betta and a couple of barbs.

It's very eay to clean tbh. In fact there's no real problems if you keep up your filter maintenace and water changes.

It's a great stylish little tank.

Forgot to reply about the lighting upgrade.

The MR11 is a striaght swap so you can go down that route.

I found the water condensation wrecked the ceramic type fittings.

I ended up taking the lighting housing apart and fed led lights through it.

Much better and you can direct lights into those corners! I've got eight blue leds and four white.

IMo the only anemones you could keep in a tank that size would be:

beadlet anemones - but they are a colder water species, so you would need to go with a uk biotope tank. They also multiply like rabbits, so you would need to be near the coast so that you can put them back in to the wild
