Today has gone well. They are swimming together for the most part. Once in a while the "bigger" one will charge off the smaller one. Was watching them swim side by side and they both started twitching but the smaller one is doing it more often. Also noticing another issue. I have 4 turbo...

They are now swimming together and the "smaller" one is backing down and is indeed twitching. The bully is still chasing him around though. Hopefully this will end soon.

He said he bought them at the same time but they weren't a pair. Didn't think that was recommended but he did it. Said he never say a sign of fighing between them.

Here are some pictures....most came out blurry as heck so I'll only put up the clear ones. BTW they are both Gold Stripes the yellow just didn't come out in the pictures. First off here is the tank after I first set it up Then we have the bully Here's the one that is getting picked on.

Tank has been up and running for over 2 months. Clean up crew has been in for over a week now. I have a 46g bow. He had them in a 29 which I thought was kinda small....heck the 46 probably going to be kinda small until I get my 75g switched over to saltwater.

Had a buddy that was gettting rid of his clowns. Told him I was looking for a pair to start my tank with. He said I could have them since he was getting out of saltwater. He brought them over and they are Maroons. They are beautiful fish and he has on had them 2 months. They are both the...

That's good to know. Thank You!!!

Little update. Everything is going well. Ph is a little on the low side (bout 7.8) so I'll be gettting a buffer to raise it. This morning I noticed what appears to be a pretty good sized bristle worm coming out of one of the holes in the live rock. From what I've read on here they are pretty...

Fort Wayne here!!! Not really in your neck of the woods but kinda close.

Went out and purchased 2 Koralia 1's and have them on opposites sides of the tank. Also got 4 Mexican Turbo Snails and 3 hermit crabs and they are in hog heaven right now!!!

Thanks for the info. I guess I'd want to place them on opposite sides of the tank then?

Another question. How do you know if you have enough flow? I have a ViaAqua 1800 rated at 480gph. It came with the wet/dry. Is that enough or do I need a power head to help with the flow?

Ok tank has been up for a month. Cured Live Rock has been in for 3 weeks and when the lights are off I have snails all over the place. Put a raw shrimp in a week ago to start the cycle. Have not seen a spike yet...dunno if I missed it or not. I didn't do a water test the first 2 weeks I put...

Just want to thank everyone that has posted valuable info that I've been lurking thru the last couple weeks. After countless years of having fresh water I decided to leap into SW. Went out and bought a 46g bow with a wet/dry filtration. Got a protein skimmer and heater all in the sump. Have...
