Oh so it’s actually called a TENS machine. Doh. Will look it up, thanks.

I’m assuming you really like it?

It's good when my shoulders are bothering me. I have an idea of work "injury" in my shoulder that caused some scarring on the muscle and occasionally it bothers me. The TENS helps loosen up/relax the muscles. In my line of work back pain is almost guaranteed so anything to relax the muscles is great!

You can get away with thrift reefing. Just water changes and you can add frags from local club members. Heck, you might be able to source ocean water for free too.

What is that first thing you talk about? What is "Water Changes"?

So temporary. Interesting. I’ll read up on it. Likely not for my kind of pain though

The pain relief is temporary, with the interferential it does have a therapeutic impact.

Happy Birthday!!! Half day for me grabbing lunch than heading to the LFS.
 
These are my options which would be best? I will be getting a Ocellaris from Katrina that is being picked on so I don't want to get another Clownfish that might pick on her.
Scooter Blenny
Tomato Clownfish maybe 2 inches
Pajama Cardinal
Firefish
Clark's clownfish about 4 inches

Also should I go ahead and get some cuc? They have an emerald crab, Mexican turbo and lots of hermit crabs and other snails.

Both clarki, tomato extremely aggressive.
Picked on clown maybe let be solo for a bit, chill out a little.
Your tank is huge, maybe introduce another clown later.
Just my thoughts on clown situation.
Others fine, scooters really need care/food.
Have fun!!!!! :) :):)
 
I like Firefish but all of mine have jumped.

I don't like Clarkiis or Tomato clowns and have 3 Ocellaris - get a small one (smallest healthy one in a tank with multiple) and you'll likely end up with Katrina's as a female and the smaller staying male.

PJs are ok but my Bangaii is prettier than my PJs.
