That would be amazing! I will just need to get a nem box first.
amazon has them pretty affordable. That's what I am using for the fancy nem I just got. They arent as nice as say, octo aquatics, but for the price, I'm happy.

I have also noticed that one of the clownfish has been chasing the other one quite a bit, is there something I should do? The last time this happened one of my clowns died and I don’t really want a repeat.

They are trying to figure out who is going to wear the pants in the family.

I thought so, I guess I got a bit nervous because last time they turned murderous.
I had that happen but I separated them before the one bullied the other to death. If you have a little acclimation box to separated them or maybe the mirror trick?
Even a small Tupperware with holes and magnetic algae scraper would work.

I would tell you what I do, but you probably should never do what I do. So, since doing what I do is not an option for you to do, I will refrain from telling you what to do. Go ahead and do you, Boo-Boo.

Sad news, unfortunately this weekend was very busy, and while cleaning the QT I forgot to put the DIY mesh intake filter cover back on, and one of the clownfish unfortunately got sucked in and died. Very unfortunate as it could have been avoided, but, mistakes happen. And on top that I also missed reefstock. Super bummed about that, but there is nothing I can do. Good news however, I get to put the other 2 fish in the tank tomorrow!

Sorry you're feeling unwell. Hope you get better soon.

Sorry about the bad quality, it’s cloudy and snowing out so it makes the blue look more blue. I will get better pictures hopefully tonight or tomorrow.

He kinda perches on the sand like a goby or something I noticed.

FTS! Ignore the salt drips, I was too lazy to clean it up last night.

Updates! Damsel seems fine with all the new fish, also got a new coral (candy cane,) and then I took some pics and decided to mess around with filters and try to get them to look as close to what the real one looks as possible. It did work a little bit, but not as close as I would have liked. I still need to get a camera filter, but the phone works fine until I get it.

Also an FTS, yes I know I have been slacking, but more to come!
