Great! Thanks Yannifish! Apperciate the help!

Hi Everyone! I have had my clownfish for 2 years now, and all of a sudden about a month ago, he started digging HUGE holes in the sandbed. Both of my clownfish hang out and sleep in the holes together. Is it a mating behavior maybe? I thought it could be that they were trying to rub off...

Thanks Nissan! I hope to add more corals soon, I will add pics when I do. Please ignore the red slime in the corner, I am in the process of getting rid of it!!

Nice tank! That is an extra cool Ric too!!

Hi guys! Can I join the fun? Here is my tank, its a 20 gallon. There are close-ups on my profile page if you want to see more.

Do you turn off the flow before you take them? That always helps me get clearer pics. Can't wait to see them!

Cool Goby! Great pic of them together too!

By the way, I will (hopefully) be putting it on an Aqua Clear 70 mod.
