gonna have my tank diy running in around three weeks and was wondering if at 220 litres it would be ok for anthias ?

[HighEndOfTheLow]

Imho no. It seems tight. But what dimensions are the tank. Also i dont believe anthias should be kept (or sold) in groups less than 5. We have 8 in our tank.

I have a group of 3 with no issues.

3 isnt enough of a harem to survive long term. A male will stress 2 females harassing then to death. They need at least 4 of them to spread it to a livable level

I had two lyretail anthias in my vision 260 for over 12 months until I broke the system down, both did very well.

If you can add a couple more i would strongly recommend it. Remember how high densities these fish live in in the wild
