I really want another clown, but I haven't found any around that are small enough yet. I wonder if a small yellow clown goby would get along with my blenny and clown? I do have small snapping pistol shrimp, after 3 months I finally saw one of them and ID'd it. I think I may end up getting rid...

Unfortunately, one of the clowns went carpet-surfing over the weekend :( I will just have to keep the cover on all the time I suppose. Kinda bummed, hate losing any pet, but I know it's part of the hobby. If I got another one, it should be smaller than the one I have now, correct? I went to the...

thanks yannifish :) the skimmer is an aquaticlife internal mini skimmer 115 it was less than 70 bucks and it seems to be quite durable and efficient, once I got the bubble column adjusted to the proper level - not too noisy either.

Hi, I ended up going with aquavitro calcification for reefs (its a seachem line) it was not expensive and hopefully it will do the trick! After fiddling with the camera settings I ended up with some more pics for you

Hey good luck on the start-up! I did a 20 gallon long tank in the new hobbyists section recently, there were some good posts by the community that were very helpful to me. All I had to start with was a book so I was pretty green. I see now that you are thinking of doing the 33 long tank, I...

thanks dude, yannifish yes I run a skimmer 24/7 since the first batch of live rock was added I will post new pics too, I have a lot of red and purple coraline algae now, it is even growing on hermit's shells I will look into the seachem additive!

Update - the clowns aren't fighting anymore, the one is still hosting the anemone, the blenny and all the inverts are doing well, thriving. I am feeding small portions twice daily, a variety of foods. Water looks and smells good. The brown algae doesn't seem to be growing as fast as it was...

thanks to both of you, all of this is still kinda new! I am happy to hear that all sounds like normal behavior :) They are already really fun to watch!

Really fancy, good looking Blenny! They have the cutest expressions and are a lot of fun to watch!

Hey thanks Yannifish! Well, I wasn't planning on adding more rock, there is 30lbs in there now. I was going to add a orchid dottyback, but I think I am good with what I have now. Currently I have a group of 8 small blue-legged hermits, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 decorator crab, 1 porcelain crab...
