you just added 2 clowns right?
What you have to ask yourself is....What do YOU want in this tank?
Remember you will not be able to add a lot of livestock, so plan really well.
EDIT: Just realized we are in Matty's thread...let's go back to yours
SORRY MATTY

Alright, so I went and bought another Aquaclear 50, and turned it into a HOB Refugium. I added some small pieces of live rock, chaeto, and some pods. Also bought a clip on LED light from Target. I'm very happy with the outcome and think it will help my tank, in fact, I know it has helped my tank so far! I tested my parameters lastnight and they are beautiful! I also took pics.
Parameters:
Temp: 79
Salinity: 1.022
pH: 8.4
Amm: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 0
Still have some nuisance green algae (not hair algae thank god) but it still bugs me. My rocks are still green, which IMO makes my tank look somewhat unhealthy. But I do have Coraline that is starting to spread which means my tank must be healthy right?!! Especially with those great parameters!

I did, and sorry I didn't comment on your recommendations for scrapers. Thank you for providing me with those. I have seen a few different types at my LFS like the ones you posted, but haven't looked into buying one.
Do they work good?

Thanks Nissan,
If the green eventually turns into purple Coralline than I will leave it, however, if you take a look at the picture above, my powerhead has little spots of Coralline growing on it. The green stuff doesnt look the same. Nor were the spots green on the powerheads. They started purple and continue to grow, so I'm not sure that the green is Coralline...

I was just going to post a question!
Anyone know why my Clown's (spine?) or back has turned a blackish color? It looks like there are some black spots which almost appear to be burn marks from the Metal Halide maybe?
Is this possible? I don't think it's stings from my frogspawn because I compared what my clowns look like to the pictures of stings online, and they look different.
I'll post pics in a minute.
