Thanks! Those clowns are the best. Such sweet dispositions and they will eat from my fingers. They'll be going somewhere where I can visit them whenever I want, so I'm happy.
I hope your LFS gets in a pair!

hmm jw, cuz i saw she had a lot of corals that i thought needed much more light
The frogspawn is at the top of my tank and the torch is also near the top; both doing great thus far. The open brain is absolutely healthy and doing fine on the bottom of the tank and the Aussie elegance doesn't need more intense lighting. No worries... anyone who knows me knows that I stay on top of everything in my tank and if anything ever looks like it is not doing well, I do something about it.

Sorry for you'r loss Kim!! I lost my new little Maroon clown today
I saw a group of snails and crabs brawling and I knew there was trouble...sure enough I saw what they were fighting over and it was my new buddy
It was obviously way to late to save him, I just got him on fathers day. That's what I get fro buying myself a gift

Wow, sorry to hear that! It's always sad to lose a fish.

What do you feed your tank?
I feed ORAglo, mysis, brine plus, and marine cuisine soaked in garlic plus, AminOmega vitamins and zooplex, as well as Arcti Pods, Phyto Feast and Roti Feast.

Nope, not having overheating issues at all. In the very beginning I did; temp was running about 83-84, but that was because I had the room temp up above 80.
Room temp stays about 72-74 now, so no heating issues.

My lighting schedule... actinics run from 12pm-10pm and daylights from 1pm-9pm.
Thanks for the compliment and good luck with yours!

Wanna see something cool?? Caught my pom pom crab in the middle of a molt. He was totally separated from his bottom half... working on the top when I took this pic. Then he went into the back of the cave....



My duncan is growing extremely fast and it seems like everyday another little bud pops up! It's hard to take a pic of the little buds showing unless the big heads are eating and closed up somewhat. But you can easily see all the little buds coming out from the main 2 heads.


and I told you how well my Picasso's and the possum wrasse were getting along. They all have such sweet dispositions and are very peaceful towards one another. The possum wrasse follows the clowns everywhere; I think he thinks that he IS a clownfish too!
He goes into the brain with them too! You can see on the female clown that she is starting to get darker between her bars.

Noooo.... that was a typo. You'll have to forgive me, I'm still on some heavy duty prescription cough syrup with Vicodin in it!

I corrected my typo... actinics run from 12pm-10pm and daylights from 1pm-9pm.

ok one last question for you Kim, do you have the lights on timers? as in having the switches on top always in the "on" position? and that isnt bad for the cube??

Awesome tank Kat!!! I'm in the process of getting a nano myself. I havent decided which size yet. I'm looking at the 14g. Right now I have a 180g w/75g sump. What kinda of lighting is under your 14g hood? I've found a dual 24w, dual 27w and a Deluxe 2-dual 24w. Which is yours? Thanks
