    Ocellaris Clownfish and hosting anemone

    diablo...if I were you I would not bother with an anemone. For one...there is no guarantee that your clowns will even make the switch to the anem from the toadstool. They may not even want anything to do with it. Another is that your anem will most likely harm/sting your corals. Third is that...

I would also wonder if the glass is cracked underneath the plastic. If the crack is...

    Help BTA in overflow

    my stupid LTA moved again and got sucked into another slotted intake that I had to cut open to get him out. It happened when i first got him so i put sponges on all my intakes.
