I didnt read all the answers however here is my story. We got two false clowns and they were fine (Aclumated: 1/2cup of tank every 5min for 45min. ) then all of the sudden one of them stopped using his right fin. Then he started to look like his eye was clouded. We called our lfs and he said...

Same thing happened to me only mine started to turn white on 250lbs of live rock. I was able to speed up the process by adding some stuff. I think it was called DKH? Its refrigerated Green stuff. Two days after my first dose had alot of new alge growth. Good Luck, BW

As for my sump I am taxed out on space under the tank. As for the bubbles I seem to have them under countrol. I didnt get the raised stand and thus have to stay where I am with size. My wife and I have discussed adding another tank for fish only and if we do that I will make some mods. I got...

I did not test my tank for the first two days. However I took water to the LFS and they said it was ok. They said I could add any corals that i wanted and that the clowns were fine? They said I could add as many corals as I want. I was scepitical of this so I didnt buy the farm yet Im going...

You are correct!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been tweeking it over and over and I think that I finally have a soultion. Is my sump a reason? I can post some picks to show you how I have solved it however my only issue now is that to avoid micro bubles my tank has to be at an exact water level. BW
