Quote:Originally Posted by jay0705 The clowns will adjust. Mine where like that w my fox face. Now they swim togather. I think you're right. Last night i turned the lights completely off when we went to bed, and as soon as i turned them off the clowns started moving all over the tank. Which...

deejeff442: Thanks for the information! Hopefully it all survives the cycle Mr. Limpid: Thanks for the information the lights. As far as the tub, the one in my tank is tiny clear and the feathers/tentacles are not as large as the ones in the picture. Maybe its not fully matured. I hope its...

Quote:Originally Posted by sweatervest13   The IM Nuvo line is a nice little plug-in-play system similar to a biocube (I have the Nuvo 8).  No under gravel filters.    I agree with deejeff, you got some real nice rock there.  It does look a little big in the tank, but you should be fine.  Worst...

Quote:Originally Posted by deejeff442 welcome to the sport. i am not fimiliar with that set up.is that an under gravel filter set up? i would leave the lights off most of the time.they will only add to algae during the cycle .you might want to think about adding another powerhead .maybe just a...
