    The normal flow of nitrates

    Thank you very much. I have been keeping my tank full ( up to bottom of my filter) so that the current doesn't push my fish around when they swim under it. I Need more aggetation to the water! (and probably more live rock). Thanks

    Adding Percula Clowns to Tank

    Should I add all of my Percula Clowns to my tank at once? Should you add them in pairs? Can I add other clowns that are not Percula? Just wondering what methods have been tried and which ones worked. Thanks in advance.

    I posted in the clown forum because after the tank is stable I am wanting to add a couple of clown fish (and possibly sell the dansils back to the pet store if they don't get along). Thanks again.
