I haven't had a ton of luck with clowns. I've yet to find a fish I absolutely love aside from my scopas and I just found him dead in my 57. I think my kole tang killed him.

Our sump has water in it! 5-10 more gallons and we will have the pump flowing. Hopefully we will get some rock in it today.

Day 3 mushroom post.

Additionally, the water has cleared in the 80 and tossed a couple of live rocks from the sump of my other tank. Now to let it simmer.

Day 4 mushroom post.

Additionally we have added a small rock of extra mushrooms I had to see how they would do. So far they are doing well 24hrs in!

Today I'm gonna do a 2fer. I'll do one later this evening as well.

Day 5 mushroom post (1 of 2).

Also, today we plan to do some water testing as well as add some bio-spira. Does anyone have any input one way or the other to if bio-spira ACTUALLY helps?

Ha! You thought I forgot?!

Day 6 mushroom post. Not sure what this little guy is going to turn out to be, but I have high hopes!

Also tossed a loose superman and a frag of pulsing xenias in the 80g and they seem to be doing great! I got my 1st of 2 shipments from Algae Barns refugium starter kit and put that in a couple of days ago. Can't wait for this baby to be ready to stock!
