Wheres the fishies.

The coral is great but don't you think you might want to stock it with some fish?

 

[seasalt dreams]

Thank you everyone. The fish are out due to an ich outbreak which is over this week, I will be re-stocking my tank fish wise with 2 blue lip anemone fish, and 2 black (darwin) clowns, which are now in QT. I also have 2 orange clowns and a goby in QT.

These are my black clowns, although they are bigger and blacker now. I will have new pics this weekend when they are back in the tank.

Thanks, I had to replace it as the first one I built failed. The acrylic took on water and expanded and it blew apart, that is why I made this one shorter and used thicker, and cast acrylic. The old one went right to the sides of the tank.

Gorgeous aquarium and I love the black clowns!
