Clownfish Harem Tank (one day)

[Jason boles]

first full tank shot where you can see all the nems at once

2 carpets

8 BTA

Once I have the BTA population I will add 15 black storm and 15 mocha storm baby clowns all at once!! Can’t wait.

What size tank is that?

 

[Jason boles]

It’s an innovative Marine 112 INT (wish I would have done ext…. Too late now.

It's going to look real nice with all the clown fishes there together. I wish I could put together something like that. Good luck!

Was too pretty to not photo!

Are you taking into considering adult sizes? 30 babies is fine but they grow. And will get aggressive with each other and even kill each other off. looking forward to seeing it!

I did do my reasearch. I have 2 carpets, one is already 18 inch round and the other is approaching a foot. I also have 9bta.

Current plan is to swap tanks to my 180 (it’s dry sitting), and also wait until I have 20 plus bta.

After researching the higher number allows the aggression to be spread out, and with enough space a pecking order can be formed as they mature.

That said I do have my fragaliscous tank that can take two and a couple sumps for emergencies.

That sand bed looks amazing. The mixing of them turned out really well :)

Thank you!! It started all black, but I wasn’t able to stomach the rocks getting on top of the carpet nem…. So I piled the back around the perimeter and did the sand! I like it as well. Happy accident.

Day time photo! These nems!

Following along, really been considering this exact tank! Like the layout of the 112

 

[Jason boles]

The flow is a PITA to be honest. My suggestion is to get multiple small pumps. I got larger ones and can barely turn them on

 

[Jason boles]

Everyone was hungry this evening. I took some pics from top down after turning off the flow. Few fun immediately after feeding pics

 

[Jason boles]

Can’t stop won’t stop!!

Can’t stop won’t stop!!

Wait what is that? I was about to like your post but then I thought it might be a dead coral so :grimacing-face:

 

[Gedxin]

What's your ETA on adding the clownfish and starting the harem?

 

[Jason boles]

My carpets have been on the move, both of them for a few days…. I did adjust the flow so I’m assuming they will eventually stop.

Fun feeding pic!

Sorry! Just seeing the responses.
That is a noghtime photo with a camera flash. Here it is in the day.

It is a pic of what a mushroom looks like splitting its foot off!! Pretty groovy. Each little spot is a piece, and new shroom.
