Sorry I have not updated in awhile but I have been dealing with hair algae,bryopsis, and turf algae.
Here is my tank before and after scrubbing!
Before

After

Still need to scrape the sides during a water change.

Nice looking tank!
Howd you scrub the hair algae off the rocks?
Took 20 gallons of tank water out and into a rubbermaid bin. Then I added a new 20 gallons to the tank. Once the rocks where in I scrubbed with a dish washing brush that had never seen soap before. I was going to scrub the walls as well but I was to overwhelmed. haha

Well, I really do like pairs also! This female was part of a fairly nice pair. I ending up losing the male to brooklynella! : ( I don't really feel like going through the whole finding a partner thing. Anyways I don't intend to be mean but I liked the female better than the male. She has so much more color and bigger fins!
i have fake percula and i was told that when you get two clown fish no matter what one will be a boy and one will be a girl. They actually change gender acordingly. I don't know if that helps at all

First I just want to tell you there are no false Perculas its Ocellaris Clownfish. I am sure but, someone correct me if I am wrong, that once a clownfish is a female it will not change back to a male. Then if I end up with two females they will fight till the death.

You're mostly right. False perc is just another name for the Ocellaris. And yes once a female they can't change. Here is their sexual maturity:
fry > sexually immature (not male or female) > male > female if none present in a group.
If you get a small clown you have a good chance it'll be male. And in a tank as large as yours it'll be a toss up if they fight. IMO I think they'd scrap but would find their zones after.
*edit: Nice Midas btw

Thanks. I am a little over the pair thing now though. I think in a bigger tank I would go with a pair but, I want a little more variety right now. Get what I am saying? Thanks though.

Oh sure, just thought I'd offer some info.
Learning is knowledge, and knowledge is power! (or whatever that corny saying is lol)
What other fish are you looking into?
