make sure you clean the tubing after each water change as nitrates will be present in the tube.

how do you empty and replace water ?

I shouldn't worry about the clown hosting because it will probably die,not good lighting.Also how old is your tank.Water needs to be pristine for nems

I waited for the first clutch then placed the pot as close to this spot,they hosted the pot then I moved it down to the front of the tank.They stayed with it.

Its not that differcult to raise clown fish fry,I've been raising them for a while,mine lay the clutch in a terracotta pot which i remove on day 7 to another system,they hatch in a salt bucket submersed in the tank and stay in there until they are around 3 months,they are then transfered to...

there's no guarantee they will pair,and I wouldn't get a nem just for them to lay a clutch in there,they may not go near the nem ever!Have they started twitching at each other yet,if so then they are on the route to pair up.My pair lay their clutch in a terracotta pot every 2 weeks,i then remove...

what sizes do you have for the 3 sections,do you have a photo of your sump

If its not a reef ready DT then you either drill it if you can or use an overflow box,research them both.I have used the eshopps for a few years without problems

sounds more like you have 2 females.try to find out how old they are and if the smaller has been in another pair? What size are they both.just because one is larger than the other it doesn't guarantee it is the dominant female,I would remove the aggressive clown back for an exchange of a small...

Its not hard too raise them,or expensive,you can raise fry with a salt bucket which you'll probably already have.Most of the stuff needed to raise them you will probably already have being into marine aquaria.its just rots and bbs you'll need to buy.the last lot of fry I sold for £5 each to a...

have a look in my profile and search for the thread clownfish fry setup,this will help

have a look in my profile under the thread clownfish fry setup,it will answer a lot of your questions and more.

I used kent marine RX.P to rid my tank of ich and it worked .I didn't remove any fish or harm any inverts or corals.

As you have a reef ready tank,go with as many pumps as your overflow pipe will handle,as mel has said it means less power heads,as for the cost of running them I dont think that should be an issue as you need good water flow through the tank,if you use one pump then you'll need powerheads,so go...

picture???

also add some stress coat

have a look at an old thread of mine on clownfish fry

make sure the whole tank is totally sealed.

sounds like there may be eggs on the rock.

Thanks ccCapt,both very informative,I will try and get to my friends in the next week and adjust as reccommended.

Hi all a friend of mine got hold of a established 200g tank with 50g sump,powerheads,huge skimmer,loads of corals,LR,LS,controller,reactors,co2,sensors wave maker etc. he had a problem with the controller which I have sorted out by calibrating the 2 ph sensors, a redox sensor,conductivity...

clowns tend to host anything and then stay in that area until they decide to host something else and then stay there,totally normal.

I dont think you need to match it,just make sure its more powerful,problem I see is if the pump fails,the air will still be going in.

Never seen that before,but they can be forced out of a shell by another hermit,I would place an empty shell near to where it entered the rock so it may house this shell,they are very exposed without there shell.

thats fine until you have to use meds in there,
