I don't think a 2.5 gallon tank will do it for a hospital. Ocellaris clownfish should really be kept in a 20 gallon in the first place and setting up a quarantine smaller than your display tank would certainly not be good in this case since your display tank is already so small. I would get at...

It might be he is just a little stressed from his new environment. Keep an eye on him though.

Tight enough so that the flow is constricted to individual drips that you could count.

To control how much the tube drips, you have to make some knots in it. (not knots so good that the water can't go through it, just so it slows the water down)

How many watts per gallon is ur T5 lighting? And I'm sad to tell you that you acclimated your anemone very poorly :/ I tend to be skimpy with the acclimating procedure myself when dealing with hardy fish (not that one should, but I'm being honest here), but sensitive, fish, corals, and...

What are some good snails to help disturb the sand bed I can get. I'm still not done but I would like to start thinking about another clean up crew I can get because mine died a while ago. (I stupidly got snails and hermits and the hermits killed the snails.)

The clowns won't necessarily host an anemone and often do not in home aquariums. Is your lighting powerful enough for the anemone? Did you acclimate it properly? Inverts need to be acclimated especially carefully.

I would worry about keeping them alive first. From what I have heard they are extremely difficult to keep healthy and happy, let alone alive.

So if I were to use some sort of scraper, would I still take the rock with the corals out of the water?

I would be fine with the algae if it was just on this one rock. How does one go about harvesting it?

I was under the impression that if a bubble was popped in the tank, the spores would spread to other rocks.

It was definitely bubble algae. What I'm really worried about is it spreading to other rocks and taking over the tank :/

A month or so ago, I got a rock from the fish store with 2 mushroom corals on it. When I got home I noticed a few bubble algae on it and decided to leave them alone and just hoped they would go away some how. A month later, that rock is covered with little bubble algae. Today I took the rock...

I probably wouldn't worry about putting in a sump. I have a similar situation and though my tank is not as pleasant to look at from one side due to the equipment hanging off the back (its a peninsula set up), I think urs looks fine with the equipment since it is against a wall. And is that a...

Ok, I will go feed them a little bit real quick right now.

Should I feed the fish a little today too, or should I wait one more day to feed them to be on the safe side.

I will do it more slowly this time. Would you recommend that tomorrow, which is two days after the 1/3 of the substrate was changed, I do another section but only a very small one? Like a handful or two as you suggested?

Ok. I thought that extra food the fish didn't consume helped build up extra bacteria in addition to the fish waste.

I already bought 2 packs of aragonite so I would rather use that if I could than go out and buy live sand. I only have three 1 to 1.5 inch fish in my tank so I'm not too worried about an ammonia spike since their is more than enough rock in the tank to house bacteria to break down the fish waste.

And also, should I add all the sand I have to the area I clear so it is really deep and then take out a bit of CC and move some sand over everyday, or should I just wash and add a little sand at a time?
