    Australian Clownfish?

    I bought an Australian clownfish from my LFS a couple weeks ago. It looks just like a Tomato Clown. The thing is, I don't see anything online regarding an "australian" clown. Is it just another name for a Tomato? Thanks.

    I am trying to decide which tang to put in my 90g FOWLR. :notsure: I like the blue hippo (regal) tang, but have read that they need more than 90g. The yellow is nice....but too common. Does anyone have experience with the Chevron...it looks cool. Is 90g enough? Thanks. :help:

    Corner overflow question

    i have the exact same setup. i think your water level is too low. Can you raise your water level to be higher than where the water shoots out from the return pipe? Mine does the same thing when I take out 5% of the water to do a 5% water change.
