This was her last year, she was even more brown when she died (it looms black, but trust me it's not)

Ocellaris mixed with another type to make it, as it matures, chocolate brown - they were also both, miss-bars :( oh how i miss her...

Thanks ) Im a little confused by the statement "get another clown of the same species (color morph is your preference)" Do you mean that I should try to find another "mocha"? What If I can not? the LFS that I used to go to in the only place that sell's them - they get them right from the biology...

So I have had a mated pair of clowns (Mocha, they were a cross breed from UMAINE) anywho, they were about 3" big and i have had them for almost 3 years. They have been no problem what so ever. So I came home today to acclimate a new fish and as it was dripping I looked down on the floor by the...

thanks! So live sand wont create a cycle in my tank?

So I have had my tank for 2.5 years now. Since I am busy working full time and going back to school full time, my tank has taken a back seat. I finally found a great LFS that I love and i have been building my tank back up. As I was looking at other peoples pictures, I realized that I am lacking...

Wonderful thank you! I should get my lights in 5 days so hopefully I can go out next weekend and pick up some coral!

So I just ordered my first T5 lighting!!! What would be good corals to start with? I want soft corals. I have a 55g and all my fish are reef safe :)

Oh I will!!! I am sooo excited! Can I have any type of coral under these lights?

So i just bought the lights and there was a 10% off discount and no tax and $6.99 shipping. so the total came out to $231.42! I think that is a great deal!!!!

It says: "Two independent circuits with 6 ft. grounded power cords independently control 10,000K Daylight lamps and 460nm Actinic Blue lamps. Moon White Lunar Lights operate on their own transformer, providing complete control of timing periods." is that a good deal? two cords but they do not go...
