Any way you could do a gradual PWC or add some plant life (or something) just to get the ammo down a little bit more before adding the rock? I know getting rid of ammonia in a reef can be tricky work. My SW tanks look like jungles, lol. It might not be a popular look, but plants help.
Certain species of clownfish prefer certain types of anemones, and there are certain matches which will never work out. Here is a decent guide to help you choose:

I have a yellow and maroon clownfish in a purple long-tentacled anemone right now. I've...
:) Excuse my intrusion.....
But my first saltwater tank had only a yellow watchman goby and his shrimp buddy in it.... And two snails. I started out with freshwater too (and I still prefer it to SW, lol, just easier) and I know you're thinking that one fish is NOTHING, but believe me, they are...
People are always skeptical when I post this, but if your tank is TRULY not overpopulated, try an EcoBio stone. If your tank IS overpopulated, you will just end up spending alot of money on an aquarium decoration.
It's a rock that (somehow) benefits the bacterial cycle and increases water...
Lol my problem is completely the opposite.... I need to scroll side to side just to read threads and see who posted what... But when I set my monitor to 75%, everything is too tiny to read.
Saltwater is more demanding than freshwater, both financially and time-wise, but if you do it right, it can be extremely rewarding. My first SW critters were a goby and a shrimp who lived together, and they were surprisingly entertaining for being seemingly insignificant little things, but I...
I'm sure my opinion won't count for much, but I liked it alot better the way it was before. :( It loaded much faster, was easier to navigate, and didn't upset my computer. I have quit many forums entirely due to the fact that they were so "hi-tech" that I couldn't even enjoy them, and I had...
That's what I did. Instead of getting little bubbles everywhere, I get big bubbles from one spot. I put a big ceramic cichlid rock over the bubbly spot and it looks alot better... The bubbles just come out of the holes in the rock. However, I could have done the same thing with a $2 airstone...
I used to have two seperate 5g tanks squeezed into one frame meant for a tank twice the size, but they were both betta tanks. We used mountable false stone backgrounds on each dividing wall (and the backs) and it turned out pretty sweet. I ended up giving one of the tanks to a friend to take to...
Definitely a good teacher of patience, too. :) Patience, responsibility, and respect. I hope I live to see my own reef turn into something awesome like that. I can't imagine how rewarding that must feel.
