    which clowns?

    Tomatoes are my favorite and Clarkii ar mY second favorite. Tomatoes look a lot like Maroons so I'd get the Clarkii.

    Breeding pigmy's

    That pretty hard without seeing a tank with several in it. Males are basically just bigger. The only thing I could say that would apply to getting them from the lfs would be if they look and act like a pair. In a small store tank they will just look like they like each other. If your lfs sells...

    Life expectancy.

    How the heck would they know? It's not like they tag a damsel and follow him around for 10 years. :notsure:

    Huma Huma Trigger

    Humas can, and just might, eat anything. Mine bit the end off my floating glass hydrometer. He spit out the lead pellets but he really liked the glass. You should see them eat a long spine urchin. They lay on their side next to it and blow water under it to flip it over. What a smart fishy.

    what next... anyone care to help a sista out...

    Heres a response you don't see everyday, you need more fish. First off I'd say add the foxface last, but mandarins do way better in an older tank. Coral Beauty or Flame is more of a decorating choice. CBs get a little bigger than Flames. Whatever you decide between them, thats what I'd put in...

    Life expectancy.

    If you google the scientific name and then check results that aren't from sellers or forums, they usually include that. Might not have anything to do with captive lifespan though.

    For those of whom have Elegance Coral!

    I just keep reading that this is why they don't do as well as they used to. It does make sense that ones collected deeper would do better with conditions of species collected from similar depth. No one has said that in anything I've read though.

    i'm so nervous to add fish :(

    Hey, I resemble that remark At least I know what a Dori is now. BTW I've always refered to Bicolors as Cub Scouts, so ther ya go They get good sized for that tank so that would be a good pick for the main fish. They don't play nice with other angels though.

    Easiest fishes

    I would suggest a FO (fish only) or FOWLR (fish only with live rock) for beginners anyway.

    216 watt anemones

    Shhhhh, dont tell anyone but I kept a cream colored Sebae Carpet for over 10 years under 1 40w full spectrum NO and 1 40 actinic 03 NO in a 23" tall tank. It got as big as the open space on the tank bottom.

    water flow

    Put a SCWD on the return thats split. Thats a thing that will switch the flow back and forth between the 2 outlets. If you have corals you might want to keep a least 1 of the PHs in there.

    what are your thoughts on sea cuccumbers?

    I dont think cuccumbers eat algae off walls, they mostly just eat sand.

    Problem with Nemo and Dori

    Never saw the movie, didn't know what Dori was. Yes I'm familiar with Morphos (thats what we called them at the warehouse) Regal, and Hippo tangs.

    Can I Add Anytype of Rock?

    Yep. You'll have to turn them a few times when you rinse or soak. Lava is very porous and traps stuff in it.

    i'm so nervous to add fish :(

    Dont be nervous :scared: Remember, people use this board to get help when they have a problem, not to say yep theyre still fine today! I wait a month between fishes. Since this is a newly cycled 75 (checked profile) you should probably get a couple in there soon to keep things rolling.
