You are going to move those clowns to a bigger tank, right? Nice looking tank BTW!

Not sure if you are implying she should move them or simply asking, but why would she move the clowns to a bigger tank? It is more than adequate for their size/territorial disputes.
 
Oh, ok, thanks for the clarification! I was under the assumption that O Clowns liked a little bigger tank.
 
Nice job! The tank looks great. I do have a few suggestions...four fish in a 10gal (especially a new one) is a pretty heavy bio-load. Bumping up the LR and giving time for the tank to mature would certainly help. A pair of A. ocellaris should be okay in there but I am concerned about a pair of Nemateloeotris magnifica. While they are a passive species, they should be kept alone or as a male/female pair in much larger tanks. If you remove one I would say your tank would be stocked perfectly.

This tank was transferred from the 7gmb all but about 1 gallon of water made it in ... There is about 12 +lbs live rock .. the tank has been up for 6 months with out problem... the 7 was up for 2 years prior ...and then transferred to the 10 gallon in august ... just a little over 6 months ... The fire fish I do believe are mated as they swim together and sleep together.. they have had no squabbles at all ... they have been together for the past 9 months ... Thanks for the compliments ... and the insites so that others dont think this was done over night ;)
 
Looks good I would like to do something like that with a 20 gallon long or something great looking tank.
 
What's the name of the "jets"... or do u have a link to were I can buy em... because those are small and I really like them compared to everything else I've seen.

Thank you
 
tahnk you... i will look into it.. how havve they worked for you?... tank is looking great btw
 
I like them tho I must admit that if I could find a smaller PH that would give better surface flow IE adjustable nosel I would be tempted to try it . All in all in a score of 1-10 , 10 being perfect I would rate them at a 9.5 . Thanks for the compliment
