Hahahahaha fair enough! Had a good laugh as each salt mixes differently... I get it. I was just hoping to save the guess and check. Been using Reef Crystals so long I got my 2 1/2 cups down to a tee.

I will start with that and go from there. At least you said it is good salt or I would have been angry for changing it up. I’m a creature of habit.

Sad day as my female clownfish of 4 years died today :sad: after laying another round of eggs. She left behind my little black onyx clown who is currently looking after the eggs. Today the wife and I picked up another clown in hopes that they will now pair up and continue to host in the ritteri anemone.

Took a couple more photos of the tank and tried playing around with my iPhone settings to wash out be heavy blue. Somewhat getting the hang of it I think...let me know what you think :wink:

Very nice! Can definitely see all the colours better.

Sorry about your clown. I’m pretty attached to my fish so I know that can be a real bummer. Just last night I dreamed my tank cracked open and I started grabbing containers to put the fish in. I was so relieved to wake up and realize it was just a dream ha ha. The new clown looks really cool though - hope they bond nicely.

Ya it totally sucks. Especially for my “OG” fish as they have been with me for years. Thanks Dash. Fingers crossed for the bonding.

When I introduced the new clown it quickly went into the nem and my other clown was chasing it around. Now the new clown “snowflake” is in the upper portion of the back corner by himself. Hopefully it sorts out and he doesn’t live there :lol:.

Yay for colors in the tank Haha. Omg those are not good dreams to have!! I’m glad your tank is doing well. Looking forward to some new photos :biggrin:.

I took a look at the tank this morning and panicked as I didn’t see the new clown fish. He has been up on the top left corner for days and has been eating with no problems. To my surprise I found the little guy playing in the anemone. My other clown hasn’t kicked him out yet so hopefully in the future they pair up without issue. My current clown is still looking after the remaining eggs

Aww so jealous

All 3 clowns that have been in the tank love the magnificent anemone. I’m glad he’s been in it and hope my black onyx takes interest in the new black snowflake. Fingers crossed.
