Clownfish are awesome! Get yourself an anemone and a mated pair. This makes for nice movement and entertainment in the tank.

I always wanted clowns in my 75 gallon too and I had some for a couple of years and then they got really territorial once they started breeding.
They would attack every time I stuck my hand in the tank. You wouldn't think a little fish could do much damage but the little things drew blood a couple of times and used to make me jump and fling water everywhere when they caught me off guard. I got rid of them and wouldn't put any back in my tank again. Just my musings on the subject Sent from my SM-G950W using Tapatalk |

Sounds like they can be hit and miss. I talked to the wife and she won't budge on the clowns. So they are staying. So right now my stock list will be
Flame angel Clown fish x2 Kole Yellow Eye Tang Royal gramma basslet Melanurus wrasse Can I fit anything else in there? I think some sort of bottom dwelling fish would be good. Goby of some sort maybe? Then I would have the general cleaning crew with a couple of shrimp. I am finding getting a stocking list for this tank to be way more challenging than freshwater. Seems like all reef fish you can only have one per tank. |

Your melanarus wrasse and your shrimp might not be the best of friends. I only added a melanarus to help battle the monti nudibranch because I am getting tired of pulling the little white ungrateful Ba***** out of my tank.

Ok that is good to know. Is that true for all types of wrasses or just melanarus?

Did some more water tests last night.
Phosphate - 0 pH - 8.0 Ammonia - 0.50ppm Nitrite - 0 Nitrate - 0 Salinity - 1.025 Temp - 79F Up to losing about 6 cups of water a day. Hoping to see some nitrates soon. I have 2 remaining corals in my 10 gallon. Kenya tree and GSP. What is the best dip to use for killing any nuisance algae for when I can finally transfer them to the new tank? I tried a hydrogen peroxide dip with some other corals that were being overtaken by the red cyno in the 10 gallon and it just killed them... |

Bit of a update.
Seeing some nitrate in the tank still no nitrite and I still have some ammonia so coming along slowly. Bought a atk auto top off system today. So now I won't have to top off the sump every night. What do people use for reservoirs? I have a big water cooler jug that would fit in the stand, but there wouldn't be room for the electronics. Might have to make a little electronics cabinet to go beside the tank... Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk |
