Personally i dont like the mirror look cus when i look at it i get stressed.. Lol jk. But I could recommend getting a cheap background (blue or black) and put a small amount of cooking oil on the side u want to see and place it on the back of the tank.. Make sure u dont get any oil in the tank...

Thanks for the compliments guys :) good to know my clowns appear normal. Just bought frozen mysis and brine and garlic guard in hopes theyd go crazy abt the food, also gonna try a small diy brine hatchery. Once again thanks guyss =]

Just want to share my new clown I got yesterday. They both look fine, but one is barely eating (eats then spits it back out) while the other swims for the food beating the other.. Also they keep staying in the front-left corner of my 29G and rarely goes out to venture in other places, I'm not...

Thanks leo for the reply, what i meant was if i dont have any source of ammonia for the bacteria to feed on, how quickly would they die?

Oh no, ive actually taken the shrimp out 1-2 weeks ago. Im waiting for my shipment from dr tims, but its taking long since im in Canada.. Will the CuC be okay in the tank if i add dr tims one and only and a few ammonia dose?

Just want to know if beneficial bacteria die without ammonia for a while? Took my shrimp out when i saw the nitrite levels drop from 4 to 0 within 24 hrs (never saw any ammonia spike)... I dont have any fish right now to produce ammonia, just a small CuC Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for the reply, I guess I'll have one clown, gramma and goby.. any other fish suitable for this set up?

Oh no :(.. I'll have to get a bigger tank then! Maybe in the near future =P So no hawkfish, pair of clowns, and tangs.. I've read somewhere that chromis can be territorial, is that a myth or fact? I'm looking at blue-green chromis btw.

Thanks for the reply, my tank is 29G 30x12. Do you think I could put a baby yellow tang or regal in it and take it out once it gets bigger?

Hey guys, just want to get some opinions on what fish I should add including CuC.. I'm currently running a penguin 350 filter, koralia 2, and nano for flow, RO/DI very soon after cycling, and maybe protein skimmer after 2 clowns. Right now I'm planning for: 2x Ocellaris Clownfish (must have) 1x...

Great! I added the dead shrimp last sunday AM.. after a few days of testing, I finally got the nitrites showing! @ 2.0ppm (close to 5.0.. using API SW testkit) but the ammonia remained at 1ppm, never really saw an ammonia spike. Should I remove the shrimp as it might produce more ammonia for the...

Thanks guys! Would 3 snails and 3 crabs be fine for a "small" cuc?

Hey guys, so I've set up my 29gallon fowlr on Nov15/11 with 20lbs aragonite sand (the black one), ran it with a penguin 350 with bio wheel for 3 days with tap water and prime to remove chlorine, added instant ocean reef crystal until my salinity was around 1.023.. On Nov18/11, added 15 lbs. of...

Thanks redsea! And welcome to AA Rose!

Thank you for the welcome.. I'll post some more pictures after the cycling has finished :) but in the mean time, heres a few i took while buying the rocks
