I’ve been following your other threads. What light fixture did you end up going with and did you add a P-Skimmer?
I agree, once the clowns pair up, they will kill the other one. The damsels are mean little guys, so watch out.

I love your tank. Mine is still in the very early stages of togetherness. What have you added so far besides the clowns and damsels? I have to wait on Lr to cure at the store, but would like ideas on what to add after.

Not at all flaming you , but there are definitely too many clowns, since clowns and damsels are all in the same family it isnt going to go well. If two clowns pair say goodbye to the others, if the damsels dont attack first. It looks like 5 clowns, 3 percula or false percula, a tomato and a clarkii, plus the two damsels. I think that in my personal experience this can be quite a large bioload for a tank that size. I try to keep my 24 with only 2-3 open water animals, and 2 sand sifters because they produce different bioloads.
You have really lovely corals! You might make sure that your rockwork is nice and glued down, I have found that urchins can knock stuff around and squish things you like.
What sort of lighting do you have for that anemone? Your clowns look happy to have something to host!

I think so . my water nitrate and nitrite went ups. Did 3 water change for the past two days . Will try to reduce it. he he.
I only have 48w lights in it . Is it enough?
But the clowns are moving and eating normally.
Please bless me. :jumping:
The urchins are moving around . but the main culprit are the big hermit crab. i have 3 small blue one , 2 big blue one , 2 wihte one, 4 turbo , 2 Blue Harlequin Shrimp and two starfish food for shrimp.
dun flame me.
What to use to hold the rocks ?Superglue??? :help:

OK, I thought harlequin shrimp eat starfish? Will that be good for your stars that you have in there? (I don't honestly know..I'm just wondering if you do.) Also, it sounds like you have many fish for a 24 gallon. Maybe I've just read other threads incorrectly. Oh yeah, there was a thread not too long ago complaining about their choc. starfish eating their polyps so watch out for that if you get any...(or already have them...)
I'm not trying to flame you at all, I just wanted to bring things to your attention if they aren't already there.
Other than that lovely tank! Your percs look happy!

That's explain when i ask for starfish for feeding harlequin . they told me i could choice between sand or choc at the same price which is choc is more costly . when i choice choc they have a evil smile in their face.
What to do ? Have place the choc in qt, will return to lfs tonight.
