    I have read several articles on the balance between the three, unfortunately my trouble is learning how to maintain the balance without overdosing the tank!

    Anyone have tips for aquascaping?

    Don't make the mistake I made and put it too close to the glass. You need to be able to get a scrapper or magnetic cleaner in between the rock and glass. Especially on the sides of the tank. Some people let the back fill up with coraline. I just put mine too close on the sides.

    BTA struggling, advise please

    Would you recommend the clown or the anemone? How do you get an anemone to detach from the rock? I think I would rather move the clown, probably easier.

    BTA struggling, advise please

    What does the fish do to stress the anemone? Basically how does it love it to death? We cannot even put anything near it! He knocked over several things we attempted to put close to it. Does the clown need that much light? We have a PC and a plant light for our mangrove trees. We leave...
