    my clown has white patch on her lower lip

    This is the best shot I can get..if you look carefully at her lower lip you'll see. I just noticed it today and it seems she may have a laceration(not sure) there before the white patch develops Can that be the reason she refuses to eat...

Today I've added 10 drops of Kent Extreme Garlic to the 210g tank they're in but she still hasn't response (the male eats some). She seems irritated too, swimming from one end...

    What should I stock next?

    exactly 1 month ago I setup my 210g reef-to-be tank. The tank is cycled with ~200lbs of LR (of which ~50lb was polluting LR, rest are cured) and 8 green chromis. After getting bored watching the chromis for 3 straight weeks I decided to get 4 firefish goby just yesterday. Here's my water...

    a quiet chiller for 210g reef tank?

    after letting it runs a couple of days I think I'm tolerating its noise. Lucky it doesn't turn on as often, only about 2 hours a day that I notice. great idea about the frozen bottles..ah well hope this chiller will serve well.
